    Yes. I was pretty underqualified for my current job when they hired me, but that was okay for them.

    I've learned a lot since I started the job, and am now a pro at most things they want me to do.

    When I was 17, I was offered a job rebuilding radiators. The owner said I could eventually take over the shop from him. I never worked with radiators before, so I didn't feel comfortable accepting the job.

    Sure! There's a saying that we "rise to the level of our incompetence." George Bush and "Brownie" for instance. The job of presidency is reserved ONLY for people without qualifications. If Bill Clinton, who is qualified by having done the job for 8 years, applied for the job, he would be disqualified by the term limits law. Personally I welcome the opportunity to start a job I'm not quite qualified for, which forces me to struggle and learn along the way.
