Is it Better to be Excellent at one skill, than to be good at multple skill.

Personally, I'd say it's better to be good at being handy with multiple skills as doing so expands your horizons.

OT, your opinions please. What do you think?

Edited a lil bit.

I don't think I could just stick to be really good at one thing without getting tired of it sooner or later.

I agree, it's better to be good at a bunch of different things in my opinion.

Depending on what the excellent skill is.

Having skills in many areas is good, but being great doing at least one thing can be better.

There's a saying, "Jack of all trades, master of none."

Its better to be excellent at one, cause ppl excellent at things get paid massive amounts of money for being excellent at them.
Alot of people who are good at alot of things work at Burger King at 30.

It's better to be good at multiple things, IMO.

I'd vote for excellent at one. It pays better.

Depends what the skill/skills is/are.

Usually it's better to be excellent at one skill in the job market. Specialists do well.

If we are talking business, then a combination of key skills which can be combined would be best.

A single skills can easily be mimicked, but having a specific combination of skills to a good level with the ability to combine them provides you with an advantage that would be very hard to copy.

Usually it's better to be excellent at one skill in the job market. Specialists do well.

Yeah, but even then they're usually not excellent at one specific think. A skill will often encompass lots of smaller skills.

I would love to be a scientific genius. I'd do away with a lot of other skills to have that.

I laughed at the poll!

That depends on what skills we are talking about. In terms of skills applying to jobs, would you rather be the best computer programmer, or be just average along with being an average sound mixer, animator, artist, and game designer? Being average doesn't get you far. Being the best at what you do will take you a lot farther. Ghost_702

That depends entirely :| being versatile is a important thing because you may not go into the field you originally thought you would.

I'm excellent at everything. 8)

No, too boring for me. I like to try a new skill all the time and go pro at it.

I prefer to be excellent at everything. Nevermind someone already said that. I hate you all.

For the average society, it's better to be a master than a jack-of-all-trades. This is assuming we're talking about career skills.SeraphimGoddess

You can be awesome at how ever many things you work at.

God why cant I type and listen to music

Well, ideally people that are good at many things would be preferred, but sadly it is the specialists that get paid the most

professionaly, its better to be a specialists. The only dowside to this is that it is difficult to build up a resume and/or experience, but once you do, youre getting paid 400 bucks an hour lol

but as far as every day life, being a jack of all trades is preferred.

It depends so heavily on the situation that I can't answer.

Master one skill first then broaden your knowledge to cover the basic of other skills related to yours. That way you can expand your mastery even further.

Im very competitive so I would much rather be the best at one then just good at a couple things.

If you look at all the famous people that accomplished something in history there was one thing that they could do better then everyone else. Just being good at something puts you in mediocrity

I'd personally rather be excellent at something.

Like I'd rather be an awesome/pro volleyball player as opposed to being decent at all sports.

Rambo or Leonardo da Vinci?LOXO7
