Deep or Wide Knowledge

Looking for, or wanting to be, an expert in a topic takes a different effort than looking for, or wanting to be, someone who is able to do a broad range of work in a field.

As careers are developing, it’s wise to pursue broad ranges of experiences, do wide ranging training courses, and read a wide range of publications.  There comes a time, though, when breadth or depth of knowledge should be considered.  Sometimes those decisions are more obvious than it may seem.  Natural tendencies to depth or breadth are a good indication of where future success will be.
