While at home we aim to hone one particular skill beyond the big puddle they aim to hone a person to be able to think in numerous ways about the issues. Both of them bring challenges and sometimes it is difficult to see, which one is better, if it is even comparable. Frequently I get a feeling, that as I am studying broadly, I cannot get in-depth enough in one particular thing which is interesting to me now. But then, on the other hand, being able to connect things from across the field or see different perspectives is in our rapidly changing and the interconnected world so valuable. I have seen that nearly too often while having conversations with my international friends. Understanding how one issue might relate to other issues in their countries make for a better conversation topic and connection making then knowing the precise interactions between photons and neutrons and their excitation states (in most situations). From all of this, I see the vast difference in cultural values in the States and at home. Connectedness which is necessary for them and their way of living across a huge nation and often having family roots all over the world became an important part of their lives. While in the Czech Republic we see can see the vast history of different hurts, occupations, and betrayals which closed us off. Those are far connections, but please forgive the author little of hyperbole.
Even after two years I am still unable to say which one is truly better for life. After coming out of university, many students don’t even end up in their respective fields and in such a case, wouldn't it have been better to study widely? But if you are sure you want to be a suitcase designer, it might have been better to choose a school focused on product designing. In the end, it always seems to depend upon personal preference and we all should give them our tolerance and their possibility to choose.
