I wonder how many people here had bachelor degrees in medicine, art, theology, and played pro-sports all before they were 30...
That is strawmanning, I'm not advocating for the removal of ASPR for multiclassing because I strictly support endless dipping (I do support the idea of piecing together a "custom" class from levels in different ones if it suits your character concept though). what I'm advocating for is to be unrestricted on the ability to change the career of my character when it makes sense without having to worry if I put the right amount of +2s and +1s during character creation. And like I said endless dipping is still possible given the current ASPR.
[And besides the point one of my closest friends has a bachelor degree on high arts - he has an awesome musical ear and plays many musical instruments- and is about to earn a second one in engineering, knows some high cuisine, is a gifted athlete on at least three different sports, is fluent in three languages, directs a local theater group and is a very capable salesman.
Me on the other side, I have less achievements, only have a degree on graphic arts, but also I have a greater understanding of physics, math and electronics than the average designer -not to mention the average person-, while a little rusty I can still design and build electronic circuits and digital systems, and am well informed on many wildly different topics, while hardly an expert of any of them, they don't result alien to me at all, be it biology, chemistry, economics, politics, history -I'm a big history buff- some actual philosophy or psychology. If I wanted it I could easily get a degree on accounting, psychology or engineering in a short time. (Oh and I make plushies and muppets too, last year I also sewed a pair of sweaters for my dog). None of us is even close to thirty, I know you asked for some actual overachievers, but first level into a class is still apprentice level]
