For the last couple years (since graduating from a decently known university with a broad business degree), I have worked in marketing at a business consulting firm. I'm rapidly realizing that business consulting is not my calling.
I'm playing with the idea of getting my GIA GG. I've loved gems for years, but gemology has only ever been a passing hobby.
So - has anyone made a similar career transition? Any hobbyist who have gone to get their GG's?
In terms of career path, I think I'd be interested in being a Staff Gemologist or building my own business. The traditional brick and mortar retail sales isn't particularly appealing.
Any thoughts? Anything would be helpful, even just a snapshot of what you do as a GG. I just know the current career I'm in just isn't for me. I can see the career paths listed on the GIA site, but I'd like to know what's realistic.
