There's no job where you have to be a jack of all trades, there are countless where you have to be a specialist.

Not in most situations.
I'd rather be useful in the industrial world than useful at being interesting at a party, tbh

Between two similarly-qualified people, sure. But if I'm applying to be a pharmacist, and I have an overflowing amount of knowledge on the subject, I'm not going to miss the job because the next guy in line can tell a story about the time he fixed a rotary phone.
