No, it’s not being really good with women.
I was discussing with a friend the other day, the pros and cons of broad skills, as apposed to deep, but narrow skills.
Broad skills - pros - lots of knowledge of different areas, obvious ability and/or interest in many areas. Potentially more locations would be willing to hire, as you probably have some skills in something they need.
Broad skills - cons - hard to get a high paid ’specialized’ job in any one area.
Deep skills - pros - easy to get high paid specialized jobs.
Deep skills - cons - fewer potential places to find work, as only has skills in a very specific area.
Just something that I’m thinking about at the moment.
Also, is bordom at work inversely proportional to stress?
