generalist, though I am not an engineer
the engineers at my work do have their specialist qualifications and trades, but take on generalist attitudes, they have to we are a small company. We cant afford to stock specialist in every possible situation, and frankly from what I have seen I am not too impressed by career specialist that greatly steps outside their favorite field.
yea they can solve a specific problem, but only in an ivory tower situation which is rarely useful in the real world other than a nudge in the correct direction.
