    Wow! How time flies by..... I just realized I completed 1 whole year successfully as a software engineer yesterday (woot!). College seems just like an hour ago. I still haven't lost my job which means I must be doing SOMETHING right! So, why do I feel like I don't know ANYTHING? :sigh:

      Because there are people running around there knowing more then you. You'll never know anything either, but when you start getting older and more 'new' guys com in, you'll find they don't know anything :-D.

        Keep on learning! It's a never ending process. Don't try to know EVERYTHING at once, or your head will a-splode (to quote strongbad http://www.homestarrunner.com/[^]) :)

              Hahah, I know the feeling. I start my new job in februari and I felt that way when I got the second interview and they started asking me all these technical things like the dangers of unsafe code and reasons why I would use it. And I probably will feel the way you do now in 2008 when I completed my first year ;P

I figured I'd try to hurt your feelings since you were clawing at this guy and his job.:mad: This is my first post! I've been reading articles from here for about 2-3 months now.
