If that's the case then you're going to be out of work. If it's not, then it doesn't matter if everything else is perfect.

You can be successful no matter what. If you believe in what you're doing then there's always a way to make it work." When Amy Tan was asked what she was good at, she replied "I like to look for things that interest me, and do them." She spent her life trying different things and trying new things every day.
