Why is being a 'jack-of-all-trades' often seen as less valuable than being a 'master-of-one' despite having a wider range of skills and knowledge?

Our society is run by mostly sensors and inwardly intuitive thinkers where following straight line thinking is wise, those wider thinkers like logicians are rare and there is likely a reason. Thus someone here says we do not exist!

A Jake-of-all-trades is often a logician. When I try to understand something like consciousness or free will, studying in just psychology to me us tunnel vision, there are clues in medical research, brain scans and religion, clues is history and anthropology, to really understand something completely you need to step outside your comfort zone.

Thus I know something about almost everything, well not everything I’m still young, only in my sixties and there is so much more to learn…

It should also be noted that logicians values are also different that works well with our thinking. Those that perfect to master one field or trade also tend to use this to get a good paying job and everything that comes from that. Logicians tend to prefer a quiet place to read and the freedom to learn and explore. Thus for us we work to live not live to work, so enough money us far less comparatively.

And logicians see “beyond”, “outside the box”, “between the lines” because we refuse to be wedged into one field of thinking! I put on my cooking cap for one hour then switch to my teacher cap, for maybe two, slip it off and put on my student cap which is also my researching cap, the gardening cap, and sewing cap, and…. do you get the hint?

And though I know there are many who know more about whatever field they chosen,l I know more of most fields including theirs than the average Joe. And by being so well rounded in my understanding this leads to my seeing things others miss!
