![]() I've now permanently moved my blog over to http://chocolateandvodka.com/ and will no long be updating this version, other than with the occasional summary of new posts. Please do not leave comments here, but instead find the equivalent post on my new site, and comment there instead. Comments left here will not be published, as I'd like to keep things all together on the new installation. Sorry if this is an inconvenience. |
Re: A polymath in an age of specialists
by

Hi; I'm 59 and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I am, in fact, a generalist, and was lucky enough to get a job that needed generalists and stuck with it till I retired. However, I will not claim to be a polymath, since I believe that a polymath is a person who knows a great deal about a lot of different things, which I do, but the older I get, the more I realize that I know very little, even in the areas where I know a great deal. One thing, among many, that I agree with you about is that generalists have a VERY hard time finding a rewarding job that doen't get overwhelmingly boring after a couple years.
Thank you very much for introducing this blog to the world.
Calvin
