Good post, I have 13 years of experience as a developer and still I find myself eager to learning something new, just like after I got my first full time job after school.
You don't have to be afraid of starting something new, even you have to leave your current industry. I was an embedded developer working in TLC, decided to quit and started fresh as an iOS developer. I guess it was easier as the platform was new, so I didn't compete with more experience developers, but still it was a big change. I don't even wonder what I'll be working on 10 years from now, but I know I want to constantly evolve as a developer, even if that involves taking some risks and get out of what is called the "comfort zone".
