The upside of a top tier education is in realizing that you can always improve your work in some manner. The pitfall is when that sentiment morphs into your work being inadequate.

A year later and I'm still wrestling with accepting the things I produce.

you realize this the first time you work somewhere that has standards high enough that you are the least effective person on the team.

But yeah, everyone /needs/ that experience of being in a place where they are the least competent person on the team. I have met people who have not had that experience, and they are nearly impossible to work with. Just saying, though, school isn't the only place to get that experience.
