I’ve never been
a big fan of specialisation. I’m far too
indecisive to choose what I want to wear. Choosing a field to specialise in for
all my life could give me a panic attack; which is why I do something that
almost amounts to reversing my choice every time I’m forced to make one. As a
student of economics, admitting my inability to choose is going to leave some
eyebrows permanently raised. It’s really a question of convenience. Once I’m
sure of my choice, I’m stubborn enough to get on my own nerves.
But I ramble. To
return to my original point, super-specialisation causes you to see your own
field as the only one that matters. At least to you, in any case. That’s why we
need managers. Management theories created a bunch of people too focused to
care about why they’re doing whatever it is that they do, so that they would
need managers who make them take an interest in other smaller joys of life.
I refuse to
specialise because I don’t believe in being excessively focused. I also refuse
to take an interest in anything else because I don’t believe in management. I
will specialise in doing nothing. It makes a strong statement.
