>> If you don't enjoy doing some of these things--DON'T DO THEM. Who cares if they pay alot or are "hot"? I'd rather die happy & poor than rich & sad.
I totally agree with you. Life is too short for us to pursue only money, since, after all, we might become only slaves to money (sadly...not everyone agrees). In fact, it sounds like my experience has been similar to yours in which I've had more breadth than depth, and even though it 'bothers' me sometimes, I'm actually happier this way rather than being limited in scope (I'm a java developer who happens to have worked with a variety of different subject matter, as an FYI). The fact is that there're a lot of things in this world I'm interested to know about, and that's what enriches my life - my inner quest for knowledge, and not the pursuit of money alone.
