Dear generalist,

Careers aren’t what they used to be, and that’s a good thing.

Why confine yourself to a single role that boxes in your potential? Why spend 80,000 hours of your life trying to fit into someone else's definition of success?

We’ve been conditioned our whole lives to believe that success is about climbing a single ladder—sticking to one path, picking a lane, and staying in it.

As comfortable as that idea can be, it’s time to unlearn it.

Because the truth is, all those things we’ve internalized—about work, careers, and what success should look like—they might just be wrong.

And while it’s easy to stay in that familiar space, real freedom comes when you break out of it.

And if that hits a nerve, good.

Because what’s been keeping you stuck isn’t your skillset—it’s the old approach to careers. The world doesn’t need more people staying in their lanes; it needs people like you—multi-skilled, adaptable, fast learners who can jump into any role and make things happen.

Because you're not just someone who can do many things. You're someone who can see how things could be done better.

We're all here for the same reason: to do more of the work that lights us up.

Hell hath no fury than a generalist who knows their worth.

Generalist World is here to mobilize millions of squiggly careerists. We exist to help you design a career that leverages all of who you are. Not just a piece of it.
