In modern society, are generalists or professionals more popular?

Of course, professionals are more popular!

In ancient times, when we praised a person, we often said that this person was knowledgeable, knowing astronomy above and geography below. At that time, if you knew everything about modern society, it was certainly not a bad thing, and I also believed that you must have great personality charm and attracted many people's attention.

However, the information in today's society is developed, and no matter what kind of knowledge we can acquire through the network, we can all know. No matter how good a person's memory is, it will never be better than a computer. Therefore, what you know in today's society cannot fundamentally solve any problems. The most important thing is to become an "expert" and really master a skill thoroughly.

In modern society, industry develops faster. It can be said that there are only jobs in this society that you can't think of, and there are no jobs that you can't get. The occupation is getting more and more detailed step by step. In today's competitive society, it is undeniable that a person must have a skill if he wants to gain a foothold in this society. Only a skill can qualify to enter this industry. If you only know a little about everything, you can't even get in. Only by formally entering this industry can there be room for further development and progress.

Some people may say that you can become a teacher after you become a generalist, because teachers generally need to know more. But other teachers also need qualification certificates, okay? Only when you have a qualification certificate and enter the teaching profession will you be further required to get in touch with some other knowledge. If you can't even get the qualification certificate, everything else is a pipe dream.
