dear Kathlyn

    i feel for you sister.........after attending an art school
    education for a number of years I ended up working in a very high end
    trade shop. I was laughed at for going to school and having very few
    applicable skills for the trade. I ended up going to the Revere
    academy in sanfransisco for some classes after that.. i also soaked
    up all of the educational workshops at the MJSA show in new york,
    they have fantastic speakers including Blain Lewis from the new
    approach school and Jurgen Martz from the Platinum guild. after years
    of exploring the craft I do feel like I have some applicable skills
    for the jewelry trade. i will probably never master all tecniques but
    I have a pretty firm grasp on forging and stone setting. 

    my advice to you is to find the coolest jeweler in your home town.
    explain to them that you like jewelry enough to get a degree in the
    subject, but you have alot to learn, are trust worthy and ready to
    get paid to learn.strangely enough they may see alittle of themself
    in you. lucky for me I had guys like Doug Zaruba and Doug Legenhausen
    who took the time to kick me in the tail.
