Can you take classes for it in college or do you need to be certified with a seperate program? Also, I live in po-dunk town Florida. I can move around in the state, but I cant leave the state due to family reasons. Does anybody know anything that will help me?

You will first have to train and qualify for the job.
Please visit :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemological_Institute_of_America
It explains about this Institute - which offers the courses. And provides links to their website as well.
Best of Luck !

usually a trade school offers certification in gemology. sometimes there are levels for various years of education. gem technician, gem specialist, and gemologist are the three most common levels. Often chain jewlery stores like Zales will send their sales staff to continuing education classes in gemology and then give them levels like "nationally certified gemologist"" or "industry certified gemologist"
