There is outside of comfort zone, then there is unqualified. Those are 2 different things. You grow by going out of your comfort zone. Even a fully qualified surgeon goes out of his/her comfort zone every time they try a new surgical advancement. You shouldn't do shit you are totally unqualified to do.

Learning on the job means you are in the job, lyou might be lacking here and there (underqualified) but someone already judged you qualified for that job

There's two arguments here.

One: that's getting into the pedantics of what being qualified means. I perceive it as if you feel that way. Considering the sub I think self identification of that is fine.

Two: that you can do things outside of your job description that you are unqualified to do and if it's good enough to show it off.

I am talking about both of these things. I constantly do shit that I perceive that I am unqualified for and also things that I am unqualified for. Also, as previously stated since we're getting weird here, only if it doesn't hurt someone.

We can reframe this as underqualified or however you want to take it. At a certain point it's understanding the intent of what's said.

Tldr; do shit you're unqualified for.

You were underqualified, not totally unqualified. People underqualified is different from unqualified. Let's just agree to disagree.

Not the case, that's not my story. You really shouldn't tell othet people that their lived experiences are not real because you can't imagine them.
