I think it's in large part because I love learning about stuff and I love variety in life.
That's it. That's exactly it! If I have to focus, it means I'm missing out on other stuff. It's kind of like being a 7-year-old: I don't want to go to bed at 8 PM because all the interesting stuff happens after I hit the sack!
I look at much of older generations and some of mine and see those who have been in the same job for 20, 30, or more years, including M's father. I cannot imagine that.
I think that's different, though. That's being a specialist out of social expectation and sometimes not out of choice. I think you're right that it's a generational thing.
