The original saying actually told to be a jack of all trades and the master of ONE, but got missinterpreted over time.

Mastering one thing usually REQUIRES different skill sets and eventually ends up with someone knowing many things and being good at most of them, while beeing particularly good at one or two

Havent even watched it yet abd already left a like

This was great!

I feel on the contrary. I mean the concept sounds good, getting freedom, becoming self reliant and what not, but for a society this is a big hindrance. As you move out, live along then start a family, your children's too move out. Somewhere down the line, it leads to loneliness Further down the line, you start remaining single, and adopt pets to fill that gap. And then your population ratio starts to decline. Then you import people from outside to care care of yourself, then they take over your nation and culture. IS that desirable? Just because you don't want to deal with the naggings of old parents, you adopt the escapist strategy. Not good man.

I'd rather do ok in everything than amazing in one thing. As a Millwright, thats how it is

I specialise in being a generalist.

LEARN BASICS.....YOU HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING AT ALL..

As a service & commissioning tech, It's integral to my job that i do a bit of everything. I get paid a sh!tload better like this than if i just did work in my fitting trade.

Sooo ummmm, for someone at the juncture, which one is it???

This is why my role models are renaissance men. They excel in many different fields. I, myself, try dabbling in a lot of different things and I sometimes find that I may have a talent in a certain activity. Mastery is a different thing altogether but aiming to be proficient enough to thrive should be the goal.

be good in all and master the passion so if your a specialist try to learn a spoonful of other skills

How about becoming a master of several trades? That sure is appealing.

1st A - To be real Jack is not so easy, most people just pretend to be and really fails everything. 1st B - To be real Master is not so easy, most people just pretend to be and really fails everything. 2nd A - Jack always works by himself, one problem - one ranger. If we have some project for 10000 man-year 1 Jack dies faster than ends it, 1000 Jacks * 10 years is possible but usually useless, we need this project (build something complex - skyscraper, ship, nuclear plant, space battleship or so) in a year not in 10 years, 10000 Jacks * 1 year - where to get them? And why to do this, if we can hire 1000 types of masters, 10 each, and they do it twice faster? 2nd B - in opposite, if we have some project for 5 man-days requiring 10 diverse skills, half a day each, Jack does it in 5 days, 10 different masters require a month and will cost 3 times more, as they loss lot of time on communication-interaction, half-day direct loss (they can not work on 2 different projects in one day) and so on. 3rd A - Jack can apply solutions from the other side of wall. Results are often astonishing, "It? Was? Possible? We never knew it!". 3rd B - Master can know and apply some really arcane solutions no one Jack even can imagine. 4 Jack+Master is a unicorn. Does not exist. If you walk Jack way you learn how to find information, how to learn by yourself if you do not know anything, how to try and step back. If you walk Master way - you spend years and yaers in directly opposite. How to read 100 books and memorize them, how to go deeper and deeper until you find the pearl, how to pass exams and show your conformity. And, yes, I am Jack, at yor service. Optic networks and fly plane, security system works and chase concrete, mechanical repairs and aircon installation, welding and internet routers... anything.

Wait until master of all traits walks in

One of the main benefits of generalism that wasn't hinted at is the vast number of things you can just handle yourself and not have to buy an answer for. Money not spent is as good as profit.

Batman vs superman

Society needs both, a society with only jacks of all trades will never attain the heights of human innovation while with only specialists who will be there to manage, teach, bridge gaps between two things. Society simply cannot bridge the gaps on its own

Im a jack of all trades and while it is often incredibly useful even intimidating for some This World wants and needs specialists. Imho you best be a specialist in multiple things ..

Jack of all trades vs Master of two or more?

its definitely better to jack of

I like the simple answer of "just find the time and effort to do both".

Being a specialist is great as long as your specialization is in demand. If it becomes obsolete then you have a problem.

What if I master one, but I also get the general idea of many others

Nice animation

What if I was generally bad

The best solution is probably to find a field where it balances all your skill sets (not interests) into one big umbrella. This enhances your chances of specialising in multiple fields rather than finding connections across contrasting fields and then innovating according to that. It’s important to find a sweet spot.

I forgot the passage of time, age, cost, hardship and crises.

I would say that Da Vinci is a jack of all trades and a master of them all

I think being a master of one is not bad because you are so good at one thing that you can express it in a thousand ways

What if generalists become specialists of general masters?

Just because you are just a builder doesnt make you a master. This is flaud.

Being a specialists lets you get paid for the same job much higher than the average salary whilst being a generalist helps you find a job easier. If you think about it, there is no contest here. You don't get a higher salary for job hopping, the only way for you to get higher income is to be a sought out specialist. Realistically, only low paying bosses likes a generalist. High paying jobs tend to look for people with a refined skillset. A generalist employee is great for a budding company, but it's efficacy relies on the fact that as the employee, you're doing more for less pay. Established companies tend to avoid generalists because your expertise of being able to do it all is useless when a company can hire a person for each section of the development process of whatever it is they're selling. Hiring one person to do it all is just a cause for bottlenecks

this is like asking: should you make 5, 1 point questions on a test or 1, 5p question

I'm Jack of all and I have just retired . I never looked for work for more then 6 weeks ,take the first job offered .If it's not great look for another job , while working the first . A work mate nick named me Selleys . because I would fill the gaps if somebody was away . NOT great but would get the job done .

Specialization is literally what built our society and systems and technologies

I think you're missing the part Where Hundreds of years ago there is reasons that we switched from generalists to specialists😂

He specializes in fusing

To be a master of one. Aren't you just a one trick pony?

I am an istist. I have a general talent of categorising everything into neat boxes that barely reflect our complex reality.

Cute

Specialists are people who get obsessed with something, focusing on it is easy for them. Generalists have many interests and are curious about multiple things. Just be yourself and follow your instincts and personality, there is no "best" between those two. There is the worst tho: forcing yourself to be something you're not.

Huge shout out for the economics of Trinidad and Tobago, from a local jack of all trades😂💯

What in the Singapore

Studying is very important guys

Dbz references

you need to become a specialist first to be a great generalist

I AM BOTH...
