No you're not. Don't be tempted to investigate every new, whiz-bang thing that comes along. You *don't* need to be on the cutting edge. The tools that the industry has been using for years are still some of the best tools out there. Learn them solidly, then take on one new area at a time. Don't overanalyze or spend too much time trying to make things "perfect"; there is no perfect workflow, no ideal toolset.
