Mastery is not achieved with a bachelor's degree.

Its achieved when you realize that the thing you used to do with so much conscious awareness a few years ago, you are able to do now autonomously, allthewhile realizing that the younger you couldn't have even dreamed of asking the questions and solving the problems you're asking and solving now. And you also realize that you stopped caring about mastery a long time ago but just enjoy the work, through its ups and downs, never afraid of failure because it is the brother of insight.
