>>Face it, this business will get crazier every year. Your going to have to either specialize, absorb well or find another occupation. I would like to specialize more but have not found the right area yet.


>As for me, I try to have my company's individuals specify a focus, and we then have a lot of overall ground we can cover. My partner Mike is great in networking, hardware, system design, etc while I do the C/S and other DB stuff. This helps *us* a lot anyway.... Eventually, I'd like to find a hard core C programmer as well as taking it up myself.

I agree with scot,
natuarally it is very nice to be able to focus only on a single product
but in our business u have to stay on top of things
in Computer sciences u never stop learning
sure, I have my main focus on VFP but I also try not to forget the C++ I know, learn other new things as Java, or new-old things like Delphi
not to mention C/S issues, networking etc. etc. :)
