With the pending possibility of being unemployed, I guess I've just begun the evaluating a little early. Or a little late. Maybe it's something I should have done a long time ago.
I'm in a comfort zone, though. I'm trying to break out, but I'm just so unsure of myself. Am I the type of person who has what it takes (whatever "it" is)? Only one way to find out, I guess.

I'm sure this will sound incredibly cliché, but we're all unsure of ourselves... it's just part of taking risks. Yeah, there's that extremely small percentage of people who are either very intelligent or very, very driven, but if you or I was one of them we'd probably be at work right now and not on CP.
Going to school, learning new skills, making yourself marketable, etc; is much much more about diving in (getting out of the comfort zone), dedicating yourself to it, and doing the hard work than IQ or being obsessively driven.
