[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was generalist in school, and have come to see all the value in it as a professional. There is a ton of demand for left brain/right brain thinking in fields like architecture and marketing. Everyone wants to hire the engineer who can actually write and explain his process. Or the writer who can understand statistics. These are the people who rise to leadership positions. Plus, people with diverse interests are pretty fun at cocktail parties. I actually get a little suspicious of teens who know what they want to do for the rest of their life.[/quote] Agreed. My kid claimed since middle school to have a set career goal. That makes me nervous because it can’t be based on much. (I think it takes more courage to explore and retain an open mind)[/quote]
