Actually if I were to go into consulting, I'd choose a single thing to be known in. While I can see the appeal of a generalist approach here, and how it can make lots of money, I've seen the people who can haul it in are the masters of a single trait. You have to be known in the field for something (speak at conferences, etc), but if have that aura of being a master at _________, people will pay through the nose.
For me personally, I rarely see people who are good at many things. It does happen, but most people who try and do a lot of different things don't achieve a master level at any of them and it leaves them in mediorcre land (although they may not realize it)
- dude, consulting is based around pretending to be an "expert".studderine
