And lastly, if you ask me, I have always struggled to decide whether to be a generalist or a specialist. However, there is no direct answer to this. There are many industries where being a specialist still pays a lot but other industries require your skills to be diverse. Rather than listening to what others tell you, try to observe your industry and see where the competitive advantage lies. If all are generalist, try to be a specialist in most important area and if all are specialist, then definitely become a specialist. Never ignore one for the other.
