Did I mess up?

Hi everyone! This is my first time here. I just finished the newbie tutorial and one easy mission. I was going along great, until I discovered the newbie FAQ on these boards and now I'm worried I messed up.

I am an interrogator in real life, so I just picked that twice for my starting skills, along with stress detection. And this works well for me in real life, since I deal with fraud, sitting in an office all day interviewing people. My boss is a retired police detective, so he's the one who does the leg work, along with four other guys. My job is just telephone skip tracing, credit report checking, looking at TECS, and face-to-face interviewing, so I don't personally need to know about hair and fibers and DNA and whatever.

But I'm wondering if I messed up and gimped my online avatar here, as he's now rather lacking in most abilities and is about as good as Remington Steele was in his first few cases.

So, what are everyone's thoughts and opinions?

And, prob'ly sooner rather than later, those skills you thought were worthless will actually start coming in rather USEFUL. Eventually, you'll need ALL the skills offered, regardless of when you get them.

Finally, if you swear on a stack that all is lost, and you absolutely can't go on, newbies are not at a stage where they have enough of ANYTHING that cannot be reacquired incredibly quickly (unlike some of us who're a bit longer in the tooth, so to speak ;-). Falsely accuse three people on three different cases, and Ben's yer Uncle, you're off to the races with a new detective and a new outlook on life. ;-)

So. Take comfort. You're not that bad off (Really, YOU'RE NOT!!! ;-). You're doin' fine. Keep up the good work!! ;-D
