I'm really happy you enjoyed reading the post! :)

For me, the book "Range" written by David Epstein is what made me more comfortable with being a generalist and a jack of all trades rather than trying to master one thing.

And you're completely right when saying that learning multiple skills will eventually blend into each other. I cannot mention how many times knowing how to do so many things helped me throughout life.

Knowing a bit of HTML and CSS has helped me whenever I had to use a more advanced text editor or a website where a lot of the styling is dong with those languages.

Knowing how to use Photoshop has always helped me fix literally any problem related to images. While others would spend hours searching for the right image, I would sometimes just create it. While others would get mad that the image they have has a mistake, I would simply correct whatever mistake my images have. Things such as adding gradients, changing colors, removing elements from images, are second nature to me, and save me a lot of time that I would otherwise spend trying to find new things to work with.

Knowing how to repair my computer probably saved me, and other people close to me, hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Instead of taking my computer to a repair shop and getting charged $50 or $100 for reinstalling Windows or just cleaning up things, I would simply do it myself for free.

Finding "THE" passion is hard for anyone, and might never happen, to me, you, or others. Doing whatever interests us, and learning a multitude of skills is not only extremely useful in the long run, because you can do more than others, but it's also fun as hell!

Thanks for reading, have a nice day! :)
