Not to detract from your main point, but is jewelry design even offered as a four-year degree? I thought that would be an Associates, certified trade or, at the very least, one or two course(s) in an Art program.
wow, how rude and condescending to all those people who spent years working on their major so they could put bird feathers and turquoise on silver plated loops.
ETSY FOR EVER!
Sorrry. I know anecdotal evidence means squat, but the only person I know who pursued this was a burn-out, coasting-kid and she decided that this was opportune since some slap-*** school that provided this program happened to be conveniently located in Pensacola or Destin Beach, FL.
Saw her at a buddy's funeral a year-and-a-half later. Florida did not work out well for her.

A friend of mine did it for a while, it was more of an apprenticeship than anything. that was just one instance though, I do not proclaim to be a jewelry designing expert.

To quote the only tolerable character Jeremy Piven has ever played, "Yes! That's the beauty of college these days, Tommy! You can major in Game Boy if you know how to ***."
There are fine arts degrees in metals that can focus in fine detail work such as jewelry and the like, yes. I've known people who were art majors who took several classes in the topic, though it was not their focus. They could make some neat stuff, but their foci remained in more grounded portions of art like graphic design and the like. Still not the most pragmatic, but the kind of thing that if you're talented AND good at self-marketing you can do well.
When it comes to metals, frankly you'd be better off dumping your $40k in tuition into materials and learning to design by trial-and-error, but high school guidance counselors aren't paid to give actual good advice, they're paid to make sure you take the right courses in high school to fulfill your graduation credits so you can "follow your dreams."

Someone has clearly never seen Grosse Pointe Blank.
You'd be correct, but that's because I think John Cusack is overrated.
I did like him (Cusack) in The Ice Harvest, though.
Piven, on the other hand, retains my good graces despite being a bit of an insufferable person solely on the strength of the character Droz and the admittedly-disproportionate nostalgic attachment I have to PCU.
Edit: "Overrated" was unfair of me, because he is a good actor. "Typecast to the point of detriment" may be better.
Hmmm...If we commandeered the "I don't proclaim to be a jewelry designing expert..." to apply it to P&R, how long until the joke gets beaten to death?
Unrelated: Completely forgot Billy Cruddup (sp?) was in 'Inventing the Abbots'. It's been a millennia since I watched that, and all I could think of was Doctor Manhattan. :/

GPB is the only thing of Cusack's I can watch without risking an aneurysm. That said, you should give it a watch - Cusack and Piven are both good in it, and it resonates especially well with anyone old enough to have been to a HS reunion.

This is one of those cases where it's good I don't have direct server access, or else Mos's title would read "Jewelry Design Expert" from now until the end of time.

You can make an interface to do that. I wanted you to add it to differentiate between VIP roles.
I thought Scragg was the one who avoided titles and sigs in favor of cleanliness and uniformity? Maybe it was the other one who didn't look kindly on tacky clutter?

Dunno, I mainly wanted it to differentiate between Windows Staff, Facebook Editors, BGWiki Staff, etc.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
