Would you rather be Jack of all trades or a master of SOMETHING?

Would you rather be Jack of all trades or a master of SOMETHING?

Let's say if you are an engineer. Would rather try to be the best engineer you could possibly be or an okay engineer but still have knowledge of other things that's not related to your field?

A master of course!

Jack of all trades.

If by "jack of all trades" like Da Vinci then f*ck yeah.

Jack of all trades degree.

I consider myself as something as a jack of all trades already... would much prefer to be a master of something.

The jack of all trades thing is absurdly overrated. Would rather master something.

A master at something.

I find more pleasure in mastering soemthing, like my job, or the guitar

I'd master something for sure. Like making cream cheese.ShadowsDemon

A master of something. More useful.

I wanna be like LoosingENDS when I grow up lol. that guy has a PhD.

I'd imagine being a master of something would be much more useful for a career.

In a normal life, being a jack of all trades is more helpful. I would consider myself a jack of all trades among my friends as I'm the car guy, the electronics guy, the science guy, the anime guy, the sports guy, the video game guy, the gun/hunting guy, the working guy, the lazy guy, the advice guy, the camping guy, the music guy, etc. I have my finger in so many different pies, I'm helpful in many situations. Of course, though, being a jack means I can't help with MAJOR issues in any field outside of astronomy (I know EVERYTHING about astronomy that isn't some detail among the lines of the average spped of a tachyon), but how often are you going to need to know how to pick a wrong code out of a computer BIOS or know the voice actor of some bit part in an obscure anime? Not often, if ever, unless it's somehow related to a job. I'd rather be useful in most situations to a degree than just a few.

Being a good engineer implies knowing *a lot* about stuff that's not strictly your field.

Jack of all trades.

All that knowledge is still directly or indirectly related to your field, like how aerospace engineers need to have knowledge about meterology and thermodynamics as much as aerodynamics and bearing tensions of vehicles and metals.

Master of all Trades. /flex :cool:

i'd just be a master of something that i actually like to do

In work? Probably a master of a certain field. In life? Jack of all trades. senses_fail_06

Precisely the answer I was looking for.

In a stable situation it is easier to aim for mastery of a subject. In the real world being a Jack of all Trades may keep you alive long enough to eventually become highly proficient at a particular skill. Specialization and mastery has rewards, but it also renders you vulnerable if you land outside your field of knowledge.

Im a jack of all trades and a Master-Bater
