Dear RareAmulet:

You wrote that you have  a Master’s degree from a credible university with good marks and yet you feel that you passed the classes somehow with good grades but that  you don’t really  know the subject matter, did I understand correctly? If so, can you  elaborate on how you did it, how you managed to pass the classes with good grades without knowing the subject matter or acquiring the required skills?

And how do you manage to remain employed feeling significantly inferior to your colleagues?

I am asking these questions because I think that feeling competent professionally will be a great contribution to your mental health, and that  whatever you are lacking in professional competency, you can still acquire.

I will soon be away from the  computer for about  fifteen hours. I hope you reply to me  and I hope other members post to you before I am back.
