What careers allow a person diversity as opposed to specialization?

It seems that while jobs are plentiful, careers are harder to find. How do you find a career where you can do a variety of things instead of being specialized – doing the same thing day after day after day?

    be an inventor!!!

    Or, marketing. Marketing uses all kinds of skills, and your never doing the same thing over and over again, new challenges, new companies to work for, learn about different types of product.

    Drug dealers have a pretty diversified lifestyle. Filled with action, violence, money, sex, drugs…well. Maybe something in the medical field, or humanitarian work.

    I think that at the career level, there should be variety. That’s how a person can build a broad skill set and therefore be able to adapt in a fast global economy.

    But at the job level, I think a person should be specialized. That’s because there’s more joy, money and prestige in specialization.

    What you refer to (“doing the same thing day after day”) sounds more like a routine job, which may not be the same as a specialized job.

    A specialized job (surgeon, consultant, account director, etc.) by definition is complex and therefore presents a great many opportunities to do things differently, in different ways, and THAT is what provides satisfaction.
