Just a short comment , Andrew , and I can't add anything to what the guys have been telling you except to say don't let the wannabes push you into doing anything stupid that could ruin your career in this field , you sound like a young lad who has his head on straight , and I sincerely hope that you do stay in it and go far , your attention to detail shows someone who is actually thinking about what he is doing. Hang in there , good luck -
