Well, Rochelle, you know the rest of that adage - Master of None.

There are those who would characterize my multiple pursuits as neurotically compulsive behavior, cultivated to avoid dealing with deep-seated emotional issues. My spouse has recently offered the characterizing observation that I am "easily distracted". Without revealing the context, I can report that she wasn't offering a compliment.

Perhaps some of the folks who have contributed to or visited this thread can comment on whether a breadth of experience trumps depth, or whether more personal satisfaction is realized through focus upon a narrower range of interests, and the realization of excellence in one or two. I suspect that the best of the professionals whose work graces this site are not spreading themselves thin across a varied vocational topography.
