Right now, I am working to join some small text files into a big one (it is the truth). I AM EXTREMELY PROUD OF THAT! Does that make me a scientist? Does it mean that I have experience?
Self-pride is good sometimes, but the industry, any industry, has different needs. During school (university included), you only learn how to learn. The real learning begins after you finish school - it is the hard truth.
So:
- No, do not give up your dream.
- No, do not expect to get to the top in a heart beat. It may take many years.
- Keep an open mind. You may discover that what you chased at the beginning is not what you actually wanted.
- Learn, learn, learn. Anything, anywhere.
- Learn to understand. Just storing information in the brain will not cut it. Build the ability to expand on what you already have.
