I would consider myself a generalist as well. Part of the "curse" of growing up with a tag or label like "genius" came with the expectations that I would become a specialist in some field. That day hasn't happened, and if it were up to me (which it mostly is) it won't. For reasons listed above and more, there is simply too much of a love for learning new things. I'm happy in being a generalist. There's freedom in not being tied down to one specific niche.
