I'm trying to enjoy the good weather now before it gets too hot. Our summers are so hot and dry that most days you can't even go outside. At least it's good tanning weather.
No, I'm hoping to get a job as an appraiser, once the gems are already cut and out on the market. I'm more likely going to end up working as a retailer at a jewelry store, which is why I need to expand my fields of knowledge. Besides that, fieldwork is fairly dangerous and I'd have to be away from home for weeks at a time. I'd love to see gems in their natural habitat, but I'm not looking for that much excitement. xP
Yeah, you even have to know gems on a molecular level. The vocabulary used is very strict and precise, too. And thanks.
No, unfortunately, out of the people I know, I'm the only one interested. It's been nice to have someone to talk a bit about it to.
He's more interested in computer hardware for a career, but I personally think he should become a professional video gamer. He's extremely talented, but he doesn't think he's good enough and says he doesn't want to take the fun out of his games anyway.
"Nerdy" has always equaled "fun" for me.
Oh, you got to travel? :O What a privilege. Traveling is always a great experience. ^.^ Oh, that's too bad. Honestly, I think you should be able to just take an exam to earn your degree without having to spend a bunch of money to learn info you already know first. It's always good to give yourself a challenge. It always improves us, no matter the outcome.
Right now I'm taking a break from job hunting to try and improve myself. I'm trying to exercise, eat more healthily, study, of course, and work through some personal issues that were interfering with my work. It's a slow process, but I'm very happy with the progress I've made.
Happy Belated Easter.
