I’m referring more to the approach you take to educating yourself. Sort of Liberal Arts vs specialty.
In the case of a doctor, would you prefer a doctor who had driven straight through school, with no courses outside of his field, or one who perhaps took some humanities courses, could play the sax, and liked to do rock climbing?
Personally, I trust the well-rounded person, because I think they have more knowledge to refer to, and might be better problem solvers. So that is what I have become. Others might prefer the straight focussed doctor, because they might believe he or she knows more about a condition.
I prefer a person who knows how to learn, over a person who knows everything about something, and keeps it in their head.
But I’m sure different people have different preferences, and I’d like to know what those preferences are, and why they hold them.
Does this make sense?
