    I just graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA
    in Metals and Jewelry. I am currently looking for a job that will
    help me get the experience of being a "Jeweler." I have been told by
    several people that I need experience before they can hire me...so I
    pose this question to all 

    - How, just how is someone like me who works hard, and just out of
    school supposed to get experience if no one will hire me? Does
    anyone know why this happens? 

    I'm not looking for anything in particular just a job that allows me
    to use what I've learned in school and maybe learn more from the
    people around me. I love to learn new things about Jewelry! This is
    such an exciting field and I just want to be a bench jeweler for a
    few years for someone who loves this craft as much as I do. I may
    not be a good stone setter but I can make the settings for just
    about any stone. I love to carve waxes and cast as well as enamel.
    I'm not the greatest when it comes to enamelling but I got the
    basics. I still love it.
