Reading the article written by Jason Link a certain saying I’ve heard somewhere came to mind almost instantly and it goes like this; Jack off all traits, master of none but better than master of one.
In skill stacking instead of relaying to just one skill to become good at person uses combination of many skills they have acquired during their lifetime, even the ones they might be just mediocre at to succeed in something that might not be as succesyl without that specific set of skills.
For me personally skill stacking gives lot of opportunities relating to my occupation in crafts. For example, in my childhood I was very interested in hobbyhorses. With that interest I have learned skills such as sewing; both by hand and by machine and learned some basic word working skills as well. In my occupation I could focus these skills on creating a course directed towards children with similar childhood interest as me in making of hobbyhorses or jump course standards.
Having been someone with access to education I have learned to write at school. Writing is a basic skill for almost everyone in modern society, but is is also a skill that ca be utilized with other skills. but For me this could go back to my skills with crafts. I hope to at some point in my life to use my craft skills and writing skills to write a craft book or maybe even start a blog where I could also use one of my not so practiced skills photography.
In the end skill stacking gives you the opportunity to value yourself on a larger scale and help you separate yourself from other groups of people, simply by the skills you have learned.
