This e-mail I just received about a job. Figured you guys would get a kick out of the job description (or lack there of)
I have a client looking for a Full-Time IT Specialist/Generalist who does support, can speak with C level exec’s, windows and LAN/WAN Administration. This client has multiple branches so this person must be okay with going to these other locations (all a half hour or hour from Brick) as need be. Take a look at the description below and if interested – send me over your most recent resume so we can get the process started.

Seriously considering installing Korora on my home system with the onboard video card. Then doing GPU passthrough to a Windows machine for gaming. Seems like I would have the best of both worlds in that instance.

Instead of badges and honors they would have AOL CDs and Windows 3.1 floppy disks hanging off their coats.

I take the "/" to mean two separate things:
- IT Specialist
- IT Generalist
In my opinion, IT Generalist is much better, as you'd be experienced and skilled in many IT areas (vs one)... therefore being much more able to innovate. If you specialize in one thing, you're pretty much useless in other areas.
The whole idea of "Jack of all trades. Master of none." is actually false.
Look at Elon Musk... he's considered an "Expert Generalist"... creating 4 multi-billion companies in completely separate fields, before age 45!
I read an article about him, which is where I got this "generalist" info from. I'll see if I can find it and link it. Great article by the way.

That's because that's not the full quote.
“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”
