Took me some time to learn to deal with criticism and disagreements on how things should be done, etc. If you can get past all of that, there's a lot of room for growth and improvement.

Agreed... for the most part, I try to think of anything I write as 
something that's destined to be replaced (not always for better though) 
and that in the end, it will all work out.  The longest running system I 
ever made was originally throw-away code meant for testing other things, 
instead it winds up at the core of a fortune 100 company public facing 
effort for well over a decade, and the "enterprise" replacement took 
over 3 years (for a 6-month project) and didn't work much better.
