I agree with srw,but with certain caveats http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/390796-does-phenomenal-applied-teacher-really-trump-everything.html?highlight=teacher.

There are also some philosophical positions within these:

Some self doubt regards one’s one ability is normal, and can be expected. Major stressing is another issue, but the level of competition requires a good dose of having nerves of steel, and an underlying faith in one’s ability and potential, backed up by experiences, training and objective professional assessment. Age and maturity may indeed be a factor.
