I agree and have seen the same things many times. I can't teach but I can do a great many things competently. This is not always appreciated by others.

A synergist is someone who understands a whole process covering multiple disciplines. It pays well if you can get the job. The problem with that is you have to overcome those that only know one discipline and they don't take well to someone coming in and making changes they don't understand because they can only see a part of the process and can't see their part in the solution.

I could do that job but I'm not great with the hand holding necessary to get closed minds to shift to a new shape.
