Thank you so much for your reply. I especially appreciate that you come from a kind of similar background and you're doing what I'm trying to do. I like the idea of documenting what I learn as I go. Someone else here suggested that, but knowing that you're actually doing that is encouraging, because I wasn't sure how exactly to do that, but now I have a role model. So thank you!

Your other advice reinforced my own thinking after all the advice I've read and gotten since I posted this, which is good, because it makes me feel like I'm on the right track.

I do feel pretty overwhelmed with all there is to learn in this field, so I appreciate the advice to stick to something and kind of focus on that. I'm a very indecisive person, so I think keeping that advice in mind will help me avoid getting too distracted by all the things I could learn, thereby helping me actually specialize in something. It's also comforting to know I'm not the only one who struggles with that, lol.
