Advice for a old guy trying to break into something new.

[kenjiro310]

Hi guys I am just asking for alil advice here. I am currently 35 years old.

I have been doing IT/computer support for the last 10 years in and out of school until about 3 years ago when i started hitting it hard to complete my BS Computer Science degree because just got feed up with letting my dreams waste away. I know and have experience working with C/C++/C#, Java, Python, XNA, modding tools like Cryengine and Unreal. I feel like i am dedicated to making the jump into the industry, but i guess i just have performance anxiety and this need to cover as many bases as i can so i feel confident in my own drive and skill.

Also a member of GGDA http://www.ggda.org/

I am currently attending a 4yr university in last year.
Currently i am working on 2 projects a personal and a team.

i just feel sometimes maybe i am not gonna be qualified when the time comes.

Any advice would be helpful on making the jump.....
