Is is better to have a wide spread palette of knowledge, or is it better to master one small set of skills? Why?
I believe it is better to master one set of skills. With that you can specialize in a field and contribute better than almost anyone. This creates the most efficiency and will make you much more desirable in the business world.

Mirabelli's article talks a lot about how the waiter or waitress must know the menu and how to talk to customers about the menu and in general in order to be a "good" waiter/waitress. Discuss other professions, jobs, or situations in which one would need to know and explain text relating to their job to others in order to create an effective interaction with a customer.
Every job I have ever previously had was a very explicit discourse community. We always had words I had to learn which I did not previously know. Some of them making sense, some of them not. Very often they were words I had heard before but used in a different context. This applied heavily to mountain bike teaching. We would use terms from everyday life and convert them to something else so that someone could see how to do something from a new perspective.
