>     You'll get very different expectations from the employer 

    IMHO the very best thing any and all people can do for themselves if
    they want to step up to working in shops is to get up to speed on
    the rolling mill and drawplate thing. Very few shops stock sheet
    metal - there's no need for it, mostly, and some may stock heavy
    sizing stock or heavy wire for drawing to size, but most shops make
    their own or at least customize what they do stock as needed. I
    realize how convenient it is to just pick up a piece of sheet metal,
    but most jewelry just isn't made that way - it's rolled, pulled and
    hammered to the specific size that's needed for the work. I've sat
    there and watched would-be jewelers ask, "So where's the sheet
    metal?" and have a panic-ed, lost look on their face when they're
    told - "No Gottee....."
