I like that, some YouTube video i came across had the sentiment that it was ok to be a renaissance man, jack of all trades kinda deal. I liked that a lot since i have a few different hobbies and im not particularly great at any of them but im good for the most part.
Made me feel like i didn’t have to be perfect and it was cool to just be doing stuff.
Same. I have one or two things I’m really good at. And a lot of things I’m pretty ok at. In my field, theatre, being ok in a lot of things means I can fit into almost any space. Don’t make me your department head, but I can help pretty much every department except costumes. I used to think not being “master” level at these things made me a waste in space. Took me a while to realize “not as skillful” didn’t mean “skill-less.” I’d still rather be on stage but, I’m enjoying where I am for now.
I’m in an engineering field, and I can tell you this absolutely holds true.
I’ve been very average in my own specialty of electrical engineering, but because I’ve taken the time to deep dive into mechanical engineering and controls/automation, I’ve far surpassed my peers career wise.
