However that is not the only viable method. In my opinion the rankings of options would be: 1. Schooling in residence. 2. Apprenticing with a knowledgable tech/store. 3. Correspondence course. or some combination of the choices. An important thing, no matter the choice you make, is to have someone(or several someones) whom you can call on for advice/help/encouragement. This can be through association with a local tech or as a member of the local PTG chapter. Good Luck! Jim Bryant (FL)
