What do you want to be when you grow up? Most of us are past that six-year old stage when we wanted to be fireman, police officers or nurses. Most of us probably already have an “adult” career that we may have not pictured ourselves in 20 years ago. Have you ever entertained the scary thought of you stopping your life as you know it to pursue something you’ve always wanted to do but never got around to? Did you ever stop and think “Hey, I’d be go at that?!” about anything in particular?
Stories always circulate around the web about our should’ves, could’ves and would’ves. If you ever should’ve, could’ve and would’ve gone to get a jewelry degree, you’re in luck. Getting a degree in the jewelry field is not only rewarding, but it’s fun and now more accessible than ever. If you really can’t leave your job, and you really can’t pick up and move your family, there are several online programs that are available through several institutions that allow you to earn your degree on your time.
We’ve broken down this list per institution and the degrees that are offered. Please keep in mind, however, that each institution may change their programs, policies and rates at any time. To resolve this, we’ve attached links to each institution’s home page for you to check their current status.
