Is it better to.....?

Know a little about a lot or have an in depth knowledge of a few specific topics?

Personally I choose the first and am quite content to pick up snippets of information as I go on a wide range of subjects but I know others who prefer to study a particular subject for days, weeks or months.

Studying was never something that came naturally to me so I've never had a thirst for knowledge but that has never held me back.

We live in a world that values specialisation but I think a broader knowledge base is more valuable to the individual.

I agree, I know people with doctorates in obscure subjects who can barely navigate their way through everyday life.

Without the narrow focus of the specialist though, we would probably still be living as they did in medieval times

Not everyone that has studied or is specialised is a nerd who's unable to socialise and struggles in day to day life. The job world needs both the specialist and the all rounder, they have complete different tasks.

I'm not talking specifically about those with doctorates or who study continuously as part of their chosen field.

It's more about everyday learning.

If I see something I've never heard of or don't understand I'll read an article or two at most and can walk away from it then.

Others though take a much more in depth approach and research it ad infinitum.

My special subject is general knowledge

I know bits and pieces about a lot of stuff and haven't a clue how half it got into my head

Anything else I ask questions and use google/wiki

Better to know a little about a lot. Every day is an education to learn more.

Did I say everyone was? And that was agreement that a broader base is more useful for the individual themselves.

I think it’s good to know something about a broad range of topics but more importantly I think it important to recognise what you don’t know.

There's an awful lot of useless meaningless information in our lives.

Without specialists in certain areas of medicine, technology and science we would not have evolved over the centuries

A bit of both is a good balance
