    I would love to find one of these 'partners' who will put up with
    the actuality of being a full time working artist rather than their
    romantic notions of what an artist is. But seriously, is this the
    only way most jewelers are surviving and thriving? By having a
    partner with a 'real' job? I was hoping to be able to support myself
    and make a living as an independent jeweler, but I keep hearing the
    same thing from everyone. Tell me it ain't so!
