Exceptional Specializations: To What End?

I've seen it is possible to choose a specialization once you reach 200 unmodified in a given stat. However, what I'm less clear on is what benefit this gives. I know a Legendary Charisma can use Confident smiles to earn making waves, but I've not seen options for the other specializations.
Given that we can't change them yet, is there a point to taking on one of these specializations?

Apart from mentoring, the main reason to specialise is to open up the option to raise your selected stat above 200 via notability on an unsigned message. This may be necessary to get your SotC to 21, if that's something that interests you. At the moment the other specialisations don't do much - I think charisma also opens one option for talking to Lilac - but they will probably have more uses in the future.

Also, some options on certain cards require certain specializations, I suppose. I know that you need to be a Legendary Charisma to Flirt with the Amanuensis on his card. (Which gives you MW if you succeed, I believe.)
In this case, I was referring to the Flirt with the Amanuensis option, which I thought burned Confident Smiles to get Making Waves. Sorry if I made it seem like there was another mode for doing this.

Ah, no worries! But yes, other than proteges and perhaps bragging rights, and little options here and there like the Amanuensis one, I don't think there are very many benefits (I might be wrong; just specialized only a few days ago). I mainly did it for roleplaying reasons!
