Is it bad to be a jack-of-all trades? Is it delusional to think that you can succeed in life forever jumping between interests, never fully committing to one and sticking with it? If you can't decide on one thing to put the majority of your time and effort to, is it a matter of people simply operating differently, or a lack of discipline and being flaky? Is it acceptable to be this way, or should this be changed for the sake of being realistic?

people who are successful are generally very focused on their craft. you can branch out and do things that are interrelated, but jumping all over the place is a waste of time. You might think you're good at something, but there's guys who do it every day for years and are better, and they're the ones finding real success.

Is switching pursuits once you get bored with them a form of weakness and inability to focus? Is being able to "not get bored", in the sense of staying motivated and disciplined to stick with the same thing a form of strength?

For the people who focus on one craft, did they find their's from switching pursuits until they found the right one, or was it simply possessing the willpower needed to succeed, excel, and achieve?

I never got the deal with people being mad at a jack of all trades.

Spending your entire life making glass bottles, programming or sewing aprons will get old after the first couple of years. Yeah, you get the big bucks, but at what cost. Especially with programming, 90 hour work weeks are not fun.

what was my point? oh yeah, doing more shit means you learn more instead of pigeonholing yourself into doing one thing for the rest of your living life

Jack of all trades, master of none, though oft times better than master of one.

There's no right or wrong, it's all philosophy.

If you want to live comfortably and secure, find and master a trade.

If you want to live freely, work hard and experience as much in life as possible become a jack.
