I'm going to paraphrase Adam Savage.

I am mediocre at a lot of things. But the way I combine and use those skills are what make my skill set unique and what makes them great.

I like that, some YouTube video i came across had the sentiment that it was ok to be a renaissance man, jack of all trades kinda deal. I liked that a lot since i have a few different hobbies and im not particularly great at any of them but im good for the most part.

Made me feel like i didn't have to be perfect and it was cool to just be doing stuff.

I'm in an engineering field, and I can tell you this absolutely holds true.

I've been very average in my own specialty of electrical engineering, but because I've taken the time to deep dive into mechanical engineering and controls/automation, I've far surpassed my peers career wise.
