Simple question, would you rather be a jack-of-all-trades, good at almost everything you do, but there will always be someone that can surpass you in every given domain, or a master in a specific domain, only a few are able to match you, but performing as any average person on all the other domains.
For me this is quite hard to answer. I'm more of a Jack-of-all-trades kind of person, and it's really hard for me to find that specific spot in which i can fit. I'm a good artist and want to make a living of it, i'm better in arts than any of my friends and better than most of my schoolmates (when i was still in college), but i can still find a couple of persons that can make some impressive display of imagination that even i can't compete with.
I would really love to become a master in my domain and be able to out-do everyone else in arts, but if i was given the choice to sacrifice my general aptitude to the other domains in exchange to become a master in arts, i don't know if i would do it.
(Sorry english is certainly not one of my best aptitude, it isn't my native language)
ROFL OH MEH GOSH sorry for the Jack-of-all-''tardes'' typo in the poll!!!!
Mod edit: Fixed the typo in the poll

I'd rather be a master.

Jack of all TARDES...sorry I couldn't help laughing LOL.
Anyway I'm pretty much a jack of all trades person, and I'm highly interested in a various different areas...so for me being a jack-of-all-trades is better. I'm very independent type, I'd rather be able to do everything, than just be able to do one thing.Last edited by Drekker17; 2012-08-23 at 03:14 AM.

but on a serious note i would prefer jack of all trades, overall i believe it would be more handy and probably cheaper if you knew how to fix/make things yourself rather than rely on paying someone to do whatever it is you needed done

"Jack-of-all-tardes" gets my vote for best typo of the day.
I'd rather be a Master in one area. Originally Posted by Zantos

Master, totally. In my opinion, people who specialize tend to be more successful (and revered within their given field).

Master, I want to be renowned in my field rather than average at everything.

Well the question is what people WANT to be right?
Cause in reality at least 60% (yeah made up on the spot) of the people are neither nor.

Master, trust me.
Being ok at a lot of things doesn't help one damn bit.

I said Jack-of-all-trades because that's basically what I am, and basically what I do for a living. A little accounting, a little finance, a little operations, a little IT, a little HR, etc. When I don't already know a subject well, based on my track record, I'm expected to learn it fast, and I do.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Master, without a doubt. Being the world's leading scientist in nano-technology, giving the world a push towards the next technological revolution? Yes please.
