S2-Ep17 - Specialization vs. Diversification ...in Career, Skills, Interests

Would you rather spend your life specializing in one career and skill? Or would you prefer exposing yourself to various industries and career paths before you focus on one?

Is there a right or wrong? I might not have the solid answer for that, and this episode isn’t about promoting one over the other.  This episode is about presenting both schools of thought, and highlighting the pros of each, while presenting evidence where appropriate.

I personally have been on the career diversification path, and it has been extremely rewarding, for reasons I explain in the episode. I also reference the book “Range” by David Epstein heavily in the episode. David authored his book in the pursuit of figuring out what’s a better path for humans; is it diversifying a skill or focusing on mastering one instead? In the book he presents research-driven evidence to talk about the importance of one over the other, which I will also highlight in the episode.

The real question is, does anyone have their career path “really” figured out?

In the episode, I also cover:
- What is the 10,000 hours rule about
- Tiger Woods vs. Roger Federer (two different approaches to achieving greatness)
- Is it ever late to pivot in your career?
- The difference between Nobel Prize Scientists and average scientists
- My biggest fear in my career (which a lot of you could relate to)
