Amounting to Nothing

I have this terrible fear that I will amount to nothing. That was the threat my mother made to me when I phoned home at age 20 to tell her I loved my job washing dishes at a fancy Italian restaurant. "You won't amount to anything if you like washing dishes," she snapped.
I still love washing dishes every morning before I start my day.
Have I amounted to anything?
