Well researched article. I think a healthy amount of worry is a way to prepare and think about the details of things. For you and your offspring to survive.

For job prospects, I have a rule of trying your best to not fall in love with one opportunity until you get an offer on paper. And to use the time, to consider/research/apply to other opportunities as the shiny opportunity in front of you, tends to give you tunnel vision. It is great to go for something, but too much time waiting tends to mentally put your life on hold. Thanks for writing---
