Allow me to add that assessments continue long into whatever career path you choose. Even now, almost 20 years after the Q-Course...my reputation continues to be built, and the results of my interactions with others are factored into that reputation. Small community, big consequences (good and bad).
It works both ways though...such is the lifestyle of the QP.
Every day is an assessment. Every day is a test. Or at least it is personally viewed that way (and welcomed) for those who are successful.
We are not "protectors of the tab". There are plenty of redoubts in place for that through the training channels. In sharp and distinct contrast, we welcome those who make it through the training and afford them the respect they have shown they deserve until they demonstrate otherwise.

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
