Landed a great new job but why am I so stressed out
Is changing jobs always stressful? I have been going to college part time for the last three years and still have another year or two but I applied for a entry level posistion even though I didn't meet the all the requirments and didn't have any first hand experience other than coure/book work but they said you hired you will learn. I am very excited but worried also. The job is a technical support specialist for a very large hospital with great pay and benifets but I am worried that I am setting my self up for failure even though everyone in my family said I will do great and learn as I go. I explained to the director that even though I have had all the classes I have had no first hand experiance troubleshooting or working a technical help desk but he said I will get plenty of first hand experiance. I am worried that they may expect me to be more knowledgeable than I am even though I explained I haven't done anything first hand. They have a 90 day probation period and I worry that I might not make the cut in those 90 days.
From the way I took it I will be just doing minor things when one of the other employees are having small probelms with pc's or printers and if it is something major the experts will handle it. I have took three years of classes and always had a 3.5 GPA or higher but I really don't feel that I have learnt anything and have forgotten a lot of what I did actually learn. Also I am really stressed about things like Insurance for the family and trying to figure out the best and most affordable health coverage because I am going to have to get a family plan from a outside source for two months. I am going to really miss some of my coworkers that I hunt and shoot with and probably won't see them much anymore. Also the building is so big I get lost in it, there are six floors and over 400 rooms that is gonna be a major change for me also.
I guess I am just worrying to much and need to just be happy, also I guess its true that most you learn in college you forget , my wife says that they aren't gonna turn me loose and expect me to know everything and they will train me but I am a worryer by nature big time.
Anyone else get so stressed and worrried when changing jobs
