Yes, society has a way of placing more value on people who are hyper-specialized in one thing. I think a lot of this is tied to how we view labor and attach purpose to working in more conventional spaces that are “realistic” passions. It took awhile for me to find the link between everything I was doing but I wouldn’t have found it if I didn’t experiment with new mediums in fear of looking like a quitter or like you said, being all over the place.
