    Skills of a typist is actually needed in modern world. It's a critical complementary skill for many different skills that are in actual demand. I got to a level of a professional typist by taking a class that was actually 1.5hours per week for school year. So it doesn't take too much time to learn and is a complementary skill for pretty much any modern profession.

    Thanks, I’ve been struggling with this throughout life. I have so many interests and hobbies, but work in a very specialized field.

      If the field pays well, please stick to it and do the hobbies in your free time or maybe one side hustle. I have lots of things in my brain but my field of software engineering pays very well. So I do that full time. On the side I do phone interpreting also for a good per minute rate. Then my hobbies come next, reading philosophy etc.

    Hi Sam. doesn't this go against your last video which was about choosing one thing and going all in?

    • @smatla
      @smatla  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It can, hence the “curiosity trap” I mentioned at the end of the vid.
      There’s a tension between them though for sure. Tricky to strike the balance

    Since my childhood i always dreamt about being a professional at most of science fields i can possibly do before i become old.
    I finished my High school last year. My dream is to be a 1.aerospace and aeronautical engineer
    2.ronotic engineer
    3.physicist
    4.neurosurgeon
    5.chemist
    And many more.
    I know it sounds very unrealistic but it's possible TBH. Hope i would achieve these things before i reach age 30

      Regardless of age, time, do it. It’s only “unrealistic” because it either hasn’t happened, or haven’t met someone who has done that before.
      I want to be a
      US Air Force Captain
      Robotics Engineer
      Animator
      Attorney
      Electrician
      I have seen people on LinkedIn closely similar but not exact.

      You can do a bachelors degree that has physics and chemistry then go to medical school and end up a neurologist. Thus 3 to 5. Not sure about 1 and 2. But don't spread yourself too thin. You cannot definitely be all of those 5.

    Мне 42 и я осознаю, что нахожусь в "ловушке любопытства" - мне интересно буквально всё, но этого "всего" я касаюсь только поверхностно, так как по мере углубления и понимания бездны интересной тему мое любопытство сходит на нет. Я понимаю свое положение, но не знаю как мне из этой ловушки выбраться, так как, видимо, мне трудно сфокусироваться на чем-то одном или двух и долгое время удерживать свой фокус. А может быть я - наркоман широкого любопытства и на самом деле я не хочу слезать с этой иглы?..
