Re: Motivation and Frustration with Progressing
You don't need motivation, you need structure. You need to practice and study. Don't worry about waiting for inspiration to hit, it's a waste of time.

Re: Let He who cast the first stone
Diploma will work as a proof that you know how to do the stuff you are studing. Means practice and start making samples and all.
