    Hey gang. Im interested in looking to possibly work under a seasoned, skilled taxi, as their apprentice. Im seeking a paid apprenticeship. I have attended and completed training at N.E. Michigan School of Wildlife Art, and received a diploma in game head, LS mammals, fish, birds and habitat construction. I have been working with a local taxidermist since oct on a sporadic basis and I enjoy every second of time I get w/ him in the shop. The only reason Im seeking out of state positions is because my g/f and i would like to get married very soon, but we cant do that w/ the quality of life in michigan. shes going to med school and getting paid half what she should be, and i just got laid off today from my 9-5er, just like about 70% of everyone in MI is going through. we are looking to get lif started in a better direction so we can get settled. I absolutely love this industry and though i went to school, i feel becoming an apprentice would be an invaluable situation for me to learn the millions of things i didn't learn in school. i graduated high school in 02 and went straight to college at macomb culinary institute. after 3 years there, and a major switch to law enforcement, i decided i would like to peruse my life long dream of being a wild life artist. im looking for a position in a state that is relatively close to Michigan, w/ in 10 hours... so its not TOO difficult to return home for family visits in the summer and around xmas. it also wouldn't hurt if you where near an NHL team, so i could see my wings a few times too ;D ;) If any of you have any information for me to consider, please pm me or email me at xduffey83x@yahoo.com Thank you so much.
