Dan,

    Try not to add to your stress. It seems you have found the way to
    get through to clarifying your status. Now may I suggest you focus on
    what you have succeeded in getting done, and realizing you have the
    capability of getting through it all. 

    There are many school trained persons sharing your fear of blowing
    it. School does not completely train one to handle everything that
    comes down the pike. Many of the persons on this list have shared
    these emotions with us. We all learn from mistakes, we all make
    mistakes or errors in judgement. You are not alone. 

    Taking a new direction usually leads to apprehensions and in some
    cases an ulcer. Come to think of it, I no longer hear much about
    ulcers, so see, nothing to worry about. 

    Go forward with confidence, and confidence will follow you. 

    There are a lot of us here pulling for you. Apprenticing is required
    in much of this world and is the usual way to learn. 

Keep up the good work.
Terrie
