Level Designing
kraid:
Since you're allready familiar with a bsp engine, it won't be to hard to switch to source.
Just a matter of learning the interface and commands, the theoretical stuff e.g. level optimisation should be nearly the same.

Thats what I was going to say.
Yea, you deffinately have a good grasp of what level designing is all about. Now you need to perfect it though. I would highly recommend sticking to one medium of mapping.
killermonkey:
BSP used in Source =/= BSP used in DOOM 3
Doom 3 uses 100% real time lighting (no baking) and no PVS. This cuts the process down to just developing the BSP tree which is only 1 / 4 steps from the Source process and also a significant shift in work flow.
In hammer you spend most of your time positioning lighting and configuring exceptions instead of actually mapping.

No one is underestimating you, however you can't expect to be snatched up / taken too seriously when you have zero experience in something. At some point I didn't know how to program as well (be it I was not in high school yet) and clearly I have overcome that hurdle in my life (over the last 10 years) but its a continual process of self exploration, learning, and dealing with ass holes like me who do not give people the benefit of the doubt without proper justification.

I am one of those assholes you dealt with in your life :'(
