Specialisation is nothing new but I think what both the article and the grandparent really mean is that you have to be above average in your field of specialisation, e.g. being an average professional singer, professional mathematician or professional athlete is not enough.
- batista 15y agoMost people are average at everything. Even if you have multiple scales, it doesn't change. For one, people are not willing to work in all the "scale field", even if they are above average (i.e: I'm above average at preaching. Too bad I don't want to be a priest). Second, you can be above average in a field that doesn't matter (i.e: oh, I'm an above average haiku writer. Too bad nobody pays for this). Third, most fields are so saturated but merely being above average doesn't matter anyway. (i.e: oh, I'm above average at singing. Too bad only the top 1% or less makes any money of it).
