    Solid start. :)

    In 12 days the game changes. Wherever you come to know you've screwed up - DON'T PANIC! There's no reward without risk of failure.... and you will fail, somewhere, somehow... Anyone who hasn't is either perfect or a liar.

    Just do your best to keep the mistakes small scale. Like.... flatten a stop sign instead of a 63 passenger clown car. Lol. :D


    Luck to ya, Bob.

    Keep a positive mind. There's lots of different things you can want and need out of the job. They're all within reach within 12-24 months as long as you stick to it and keep moving forward.

    The first 3-6 months will be the toughest. How quickly you pick up the fundamentals and finer points (different things) will determine how easy or hard it will be.
