Are you an Imposter?

I was at a reunion recently – 20 years a vet and I don’t look a day over 90. Amusingly many had a recurring dream – they were back at vet school, back sitting the exams, back in the world of doubt that they weren’t good enough. A doubt that has persisted through their nascent and now 20 year careers. I’m still convinced that admissions made a mistake and lived through university convinced my classmates/professors etc would going to “find out” and that now my colleagues and the RCVS will finally cotton on and eject me with a sigh and pat on the head. I’m an imposter in a world of serious academics, high-achievers and career driven professionals (or egomaniacs I prefer.)
