Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World
I&#x27;m a generalist, I hate specializing and it feels like a curse rather than a triumph. I have reasonable general understanding of a huge spectrum of topics but little skill of actually applying most of them. I feel excited about everything and pain about concentrating on a single. Every time I start doing something I feel like I hate doing it instead of learning about something else. The sense of not having enough time to learn everything almost puts me in panic. I tend to attribute this to ADHD. Small doses of desoxyn (meth) help a lot (and nothing else helps) but you can&#x27;t get it legally outside the US. Every employer wants a specialist and I can&#x27;t blame them.
