Hmmm ... I'd say the fact that you're concerned about it means you'll have a long successful career. Ninety-nine percent of software development is the ability to be persistence and unwavering in pursuit of your goal (working software).

It's the people that think their education stopped when they graduated from college who won't make it in this field.
