Does anyone else bounce from interest to interest?

Yes, since childhood and it is my greatest asset. I have a breadth of knowledge in several disparate fields as a result of that and they combine and interact in very unpredictable ways. I am not an expert in any of them but I know more about some of them than the people that do it as their job.

Sometimes, someone needs a person that knows x, y, (x and y being two disparate subjects) and programming (one of my passions) and they find me... I usually end up as one of the few people in the world that can combine them together (as I said, I'm not an expert on any of them, but I can juggle them at the same time, is the point) and do some satisfying an rewarding work as a result.
