To speak it frankly, However, I think this post are a little bit optimistic for our abilities to build up our skills. In reality, we need to be 100% efficient and hard-working to make ourselves to become the most expert at some specific skills. However, a lot of us aren’t efficient enough in managing time. Of course it’s important to make ourselves become very talented, but it’s also cruicial to think what are our backup plans if we turn out to become an avergae person. And another question would be even if all of the EAs can be such skilled, the funding in EA organizations isn’t enough to hire all of the people, so it’s important to think how can we “get a job” that can contribute efficiently in the non-EA world. Finally, I’d be grateful if the author is willing to share opinion about this post: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/fpJLTFH9entmNoFMM/the-value-of-non-ea-world-direct-work-vs-earning-to-give-for
