单选题
There are great careers in which the increasing
emphasis is on specialization. You find thesecareers in engineering, in
production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is
anincreasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance,
people who perhapsknow too much about any one field. There is, in other
words, a demand for people who arecapable of seeing the forest rather than
the trees, of making general judgments. And these"generalists"are
particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to
see thatother people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to
organize other people'swork, to begin it and judge it. The
specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools.
He is a" trained" man; and his educational background is properly
technical or professional. Thegeneralist--and especially the
administrator--deals with people; his concern is with leadership,with planning,
and with direction giving. He is an "educated" man; and the humanities are
hisstrongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of
being an administrator. And very rarely is a goodgeneralist also a good
specialist in a particular field. Any organizations need them in
differentproportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period,
into which of the two kinds ofjobs you fit, and to plan your career
accordingly. Your first job may turn out to be the right job
for you -- but this is a pure accident. Certainlyyou should not change jobs
constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold anyjob. At
the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job ; it is
primarily a trainingjob, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness
for being an employee.
