[QUOTE who="CLS Lightning! in San Diego, California"]Hello all,
I'll be starting a CLS generalist program in August, and I've been very curious about what the difference between a generalist and a specialist is and why someone would choose to be one or the other? Is it higher pay? Job availability? Interest?
I emailed a few education coordinators at hospitals and they unanimously said that I don't need to worry about being a specialist because, as a generalist, I'll be able to do everything. From current CLSs, I've heard that generalists are in higher demand and that if you become a generalist you don't need to become a specialist but with no further explanation as to why. Why would someone bother being a specialist? Also being a specialist sounds like it would be advantageous- more training/education = higher pay. That's usually the case in most career hierarchies...right?
I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could please clarify this enigma.
Thank you![/QUOTE]
