As a trained Intelligence Analyst for the US Army we have a motto - "Jack of All Trades, Master of None"
We know a little about a lot and that makes us more useful than most.
The question is did that training incept my lifestyle or was I this way and found a way to apply it professionally?
I enjoy learning new things. Going from zero to one.
Applying energy towards something for short bursts is enjoyable.
So I find myself in life that can kinda, sorta do a lot of very different things but none of them as well as the best professionals.
That makes me better in a lot of ways but with some very serious tradeoffs and limitations.
Most people cannot be a PhD or a speciality MD. It is a rare breed to be able to have a drill deep on a small surface area. Thankful those people exist.
Most people can do what I do. Learn a little about a lot. The more areas, tradecraft, abilities you can learn a little in makes your circle of competence a touch wider.
Before you know it you find yourself in the company of one. A person who only has your experiences, abilities, skillsets, and knowledge.
That can be very valuable.
