I'd have to say the toughest skill for me is counterfeit detection. I think I have a handle on it for the series I collect but shoot there are so...
I've spent the better part of 5 years learning how to photograph coins and I'm still picking up new things. :)
All I can say is DITTO.
Oh and you might take a couple of VF examples and put them in your pocket for the next year or two and see if you can get the grades you are...
