Generalist vs specialist is there room for both? Do you remember writing essay after essay or story after story that answered this question: What do you want to be when you grow up? It is a rite of passage for every elementary student to answer this question. Usually, the answers are superhero, doctor, pro baseball player, etc. But let’s be honest, what does a first grader really know about what they want to be when they grow up?

The conventional parenting wisdom is, once a child expresses this interest do whatever you can to give your child a head start down their chosen career path. Because we need to give them an advantage over their peers. So there is pressure to start early, so that the kids can specialize and become an expert in the field they chose. But is this really the best way?
