Let's discuss Polish and British, only constructive (though we will digress) [60]
: Is it better to be good at everything, but lacking real professional quality
An interesting question.
I think that it depends on the work involved.
At the highest level, specialist knowledge is the most important thing.
At the lowest level, a wide range of skills is more important.
The Poles i have seen come to Britain since 2004 were mainly of the lower level.
Their success is down to their flexibility,wide knowledge of basic skills, hard work ethic and being prepared to work for relatively low pay.
Romanians are now trying to replace them but the only things they have over the Poles is working even harder than Poles for even lower wages,
They don't have the skills or knowledge of the Poles.
Sadly, at the upper end, we have relatively few Poles coming here.
If they are really clever, they will go to the USA.
