The world rewards people who know a little about a lot. Cultural literacy, the ability to understand and engage across a wide range of subjects, is one of the most underrated advantages you can have. It makes you a better conversationalist. You'll think more clearly and critically. You'll get the references others miss and connect the dots they don't. And yes, you'll be the star at trivia night.
