"The more you know about different disciplines and are able see the connections between those disciplines, the more you are able to create innovative solutions to problems. Your mind is able to wander into many territories. Your knowledge of chemistry, for example, might improve your thinking in the field of biology. Or your understanding of poetry might make you a better therapist."
This fragment is a description of the value of multidisciplinary perspectives by Nobel Laureate Dr. Herbert Simon who had degrees in different disciplines. He explains the importance of making a connection between field that you are interested in and putting them together. From my understanding, many students who are planning their careers should know that knowledge that they acquire in one area of life can be applied to different settings.
"Charles Munger, vice chair of Berkshire Hathaway and business partner of Warren Buffet, the richest man in the world (…) believes that to fully understand the stock market and investments, you need to apply knowledge from disparate field, including philosophy, physic, psychology, history, economics, biology, and literature. He states that only by understanding the key elements of each of these fields and then putting them together into a cohesive latticework can one develop what he calls “worldly wisdom,” an invaluable means of making intelligent decision.”
Acoording to Charles Munger applying yhe knowlege from different fields is the key to success. According to Charles Munger applying the knowledge from different fields is the key to success. Students, while planning their careers, should be able to apply all their experience, skills and knowledge to achieve success in future.
"Many students and recent graduates include their study-abroad experience in their Wandering Maps. When surveyed their college experiences, graduates almost always rank their study abroad experience as one of the best and most fulfilling times in their lives. They cite the unexpected benefits they receive from the experience and the many skills and talents they acquired, almost without realizing it."
The study-abroad experiences give students many skills that may interest an employer.Studying abroad lets you learn about other cultures, make new friends, and develop career benefits. Moreover, international benefits those students who ate seeking careers in almost any fields. I believe that every employer will recognize your skills that are acquire oversees and would consider you as an informed, confident person who is able to learn quickly and adapt to changing conditions.
