Nah, if you want to learn how to fly a plane, then you should definitely be qualified to fly a plane before just hopping into the cockpit and hoping for the best.

Rimworld ftw.

Powerleveling your doctor by repeated impregnation and abortion, at least in the new DLC. Or there's organ harvesting. If all else fails, simply go for the two for one deal and have someone whack a prisoner within an inch of their life (melee skill xp), then bandage them up repeatedly for the medical xp. Doctors have such varied means of advancement available to them.

Every time I decide to play that game I spend 2 hours looking for mods, 1 hour setting up a new custom game, and then am completely overwhelmed a couple hours later. I just don't think I am good at either setting up the correct game for myself or just playing this game in general.

Replying to I-hate-this-part_ (#638,574)

Yeah, as with any heavily modded games it can take awhile to figure out which ones you want to use and then figure out how to make them all work together.

Hardest part for me is the body/facial animation mods, coupled with the alien races that have their own body types.. or clothing/armor mods that don't always fit a modded body shape.

The new DLC also recently stirred the pot a bit, leaving lots of mods in need of an update. Many are working again, but last I played some were still unavailable.

Replying to ImWithStupid_ImAlone (#638,954)

Not typically. There's certain professions where it's bad advice as seen in this thread: surgery, flying a plane, etc.

However, a lot of learning on the job, or just in general, is doing exactly this. If it's something where you can hurt someone by doing it then don't, otherwise try your best and learn some new shit.

Source: I got into my profession by doing work that I was unqualified for until I got good at it. I now work for start-ups to do that thing.

Replying to ImWithStupid_ImAlone (#638,954)

It can be, yes, but only if you use it as an excuse to ignore common sense. I find it worthwhile to think about the fact that anything you are even remotely competent at began from a place of complete inexperience.

The advice is meant to counter the risky feeling of beginning something, not a critique of the importance of expertise.

My god, I work in a CVICU and I am fully qualified legally to be there, but I have insane imposter syndrome and feel like I have no idea what in the actual fuck I am doing. I know these drugs make BP and HR go up, and those make BP and HR go down, and a lot more to be honest, but when a complex patient starts to deteriorate or code, I am just so fucking useless. Tell me what to do and I’ll do it, but otherwise I’m just looking at stats without a clue as to what to do waiting for a smart doctor help.

Replying to DataSquid2 (#642,435)

There is outside of comfort zone, then there is unqualified. Those are 2 different things. You grow by going out of your comfort zone. Even a fully qualified surgeon goes out of his/her comfort zone every time they try a new surgical advancement. You shouldn't do shit you are totally unqualified to do.

Learning on the job means you are in the job, lyou might be lacking here and there (underqualified) but someone already judged you qualified for that job

Replying to hal0t (#644,197)

There's two arguments here.

One: that's getting into the pedantics of what being qualified means. I perceive it as if you feel that way. Considering the sub I think self identification of that is fine.

Two: that you can do things outside of your job description that you are unqualified to do and if it's good enough to show it off.

I am talking about both of these things. I constantly do shit that I perceive that I am unqualified for and also things that I am unqualified for. Also, as previously stated since we're getting weird here, only if it doesn't hurt someone.

We can reframe this as underqualified or however you want to take it. At a certain point it's understanding the intent of what's said.

Tldr; do shit you're unqualified for.

I was at a temp job and they had me use a forklift occasionally. I was capable but not exactly qualified. One time the boss left his expensive car in the warehouse while on vacation, and i had to manuever around it.
Anyway nothing bad happened but I had never been so careful doing anything before that, nor since. I still can't believe they trusted an unknown 20-yr old with that.

Not applying flying a plane and forklifts, this is definitely great advice. The stress I felt doing things I wasnt ready for is what helped me to excel in my personal growth and business life. The stress, sweat and tears can make you want to break but once you persevere, all those things become easy to you and the stress goes away.
