I think they will. Not in specific ways, just in that you've learned to wrap 
your mind around a lot of different types of languages. But I guess we've 
already discussed this. =)

Learn to recognize the things you *are* good at and build some confidence in 
yourself. Don't spend all your time focusing on the things you can't do yet; 
look at what you've done that other people wouldn't even bother to try. When 
you fail, make a conscious effort to learn from your mistakes.

Sometimes you only need to please yourself!
