One who does not
specialize. Désafortunatamente (in some respects), the current economy rewards
specialists. This means that nearly no one can
survive on their own; a
dubious blessing/
curse that too few people understand.
A generalist may be someone with many
talents, a
jack-of-all-trades, a
dillettante, a
roustabout, an
indecisive mothafucka. A generalist may never develop any one talent well enough to be
fulfilled. A generalist may watch each and all of his talents or skills
wither or
atrophy from
infrequent excercise. A generalist may be able to
juggle, while a specialist can fly. However, a generalist can also
breathe on her own
while she juggles. These are the
meager victories.
