Well, I’m sorry no Profession works that way. You can’t watch a few YouTube videos, do a few hours of an online course or join a Facebook group and become a professional, an expert, in anything in our trade. I will explain why, with a focus on gemmology in particular, that this is neither possible nor sensible.
But wait there…it’s not all doom and gloom, I will tell you what you can do, what you can expect, and how you can make the steps to becoming skilled, knowledgeable and eventually a professional, an expert. You just have to be realistic and not believe the Social Media Fairytale.
