Dear generalist,

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

Why should you work just a job? A confined, narrow box devoid of joy and impact? Why should you sacrifice 80,000 hours of your one, precious life diluting yourself to set tasks on a job description?

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 framework. 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.

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

Because hell hath no fury like a generalist energized by a problem.

Generalist World is here to mobilize the millions. We exist to mobilize you to lean into your skillset, and design a career on your terms.
