So full of hope and dreams.

Either you will suck at your job and quit to go do something else. Or you get it, and your soul will be slowly crushed under the weight of constant frustration and disappointment.

The worst is when you get promoted, and people start to recognize you as an expert. At that point you realize how everybody is sort of winging it, including the people in all other professions that you'd really prefer not to (doctors, pilots, politicians ...).
