    I need to jump in this discussion again.  I went to Drexel
    University in Philadelphia. (I developed a jewelry interest
    during grad school.) At Drexel, nearly all students participate
    in the cooperative education program after their freshman year. 
    For three years students work six months in classes and six
    months at a 9-5 job in industry.  Those who don't like or can't
    tolerate their major, switch very fast. By graduation, most
    seniors have 1-2 years of practical job experience. Could
    something like this work for jewelry majors ? The industry would
    benefit from a fairly cheap labor source. After graduation, the
    students would have more useful skills and some would be hired by
    their co-op employers.  Lastly, the money earned really helps
    toward tuition.
