I apologize if this isn''t the correct forum for this, but I felt there are so many extremely knowlegeable people here... so I wanted to throw this out to those of you....
I have been researching diamonds for many, many, months now and I find everything about them extremely fascinating. It appeals to my detail oriented nature I guess. I have been considering a career change for quite some time now and wonder whether this is an industry I should look into a little more closely.
It seems as though the standard path would be to go to the GIA school (but probably have to go to CA for that?). I live on the east coast so that isn''t really much of an option right now.
Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on the best way to get into the industry if I were to pursue it. Could anyone give me an example of the typical jobs that are available to people after they first get out of school for this. What kind of opportunities exist?
Right now I work in financial services and am looking for a change! Appreciate any advice you can give. Sorry again, I know this isn''t a "career advice" site... but I have just found many of you to be so helpful I thought maybe some of you would have some advice.
