...know a little bit about everything?  (knowledge of all, expert of none)

or

...know everything about one topic? (expert in your field)

Think about it.  Which type of person do you respect more? Let me know your answer in the comments below.

    I guess I choose a little knowledge about a lot of things. I have a little knowledge about different languages (with the help of my co-workers who are from 6 different countries). I believe a little knowledge about a lot of things gives you a broader prespective and an appetite for learning.

    coming from someone who isn't an expert at anything, i would choose being an expert of one thing!

    even though my family insists that i have way to much useless information to share...i would still have to say a little knowledge about a lot of things-that way maybe i would have a better chance of good conversation with lots of different people...
