Thanks for all of the input everyone! It is very useful. I was looking in to the business program at GIA. I would need two years of business credits from a college and then I would get the other two years of training in business specific to the jewelry industry at GIA. I would get a diploma and bachelor's degree in business specific to the jewelry industry from the college not GIA. I think that might be the way to go because it is not an option to not get a four year degree. While I take the business course at GIA I can also take courses towards my degree in gemology. Is this a good idea?
