Serial Specialist
Wednesday, October 18th, 2006
I was catching up on some podcasts and was listening to a career coach, Dr. Marty Nemko. When asked about the trend toward generalists in any particular field he suggested becoming a serial specialist. It makes a lot of sense to me and once again puts a premium on life-long learning. I’ve been a QuickTime specialist, a Java specialist, a JSP specialist, a Struts specialist, a Ruby specialist (on the side), and now an XSLT specialist. I’ve probably got 10 - 20 more specialties left in my career, and I’m excited cause there’s a whole lot of learning to do in there.
