Like Matt, I think this describes me pretty well. As you can probably tell from my writing, I find myself pulled in a number of directions. It's what attracted me a liberal arts school (to study Computer Science, no less) and eventually drew me to law school.
Casting your net far and wide gives you a better perspective on the world - you no longer see the world through a single lens. The things I learn in one arena help me reach a deeper understanding in another. This base of knowledge improves pattern recognition and helps me pick things up quicker. It enables me to be a more creative thinker - after all, it's easy to think outside the box when you don't box yourself in in the first place.
I've always described myself as a generalist, but I see that as a positive, not a negative. I can't tell you how tired I am of trying to answer the question of what I want to do. I don't know yet - and some of us are ok with that...
