The amount of users here going on and on about how to specialize in a career is ridiculous.

I don't want to seem overly critical, but the vast, vast majority of you would benefit more from having a job and learning how to do it well.<br><br>A good example is some guy going on about how he started a career as a data scientist and is currently specialize in machine learning algorithms that generate synthetic audio. So that's great.<br><br>I'm sure there are many more talented people in the field, but given just these two examples you would think his specialization would be far more valuable. <br><br>However, he is constantly stressed, works 12 hour days, and is constantly being forced to jump through hoops for the ever shifting demands of his company.<br><br>Meanwhile the data scientist just enjoys his work, and has plenty of time to work on side projects if he wants to.
