I agree with most of what album said above. I do anything from logo design to sound design and large scale motion graphics for music festivals. I'm completely against this myth that says "Jack of all trades, master of none". mainly because I consider what I do "branding". the theory doesn't change, only the medium.The moment you start to visualize 'branding' as only for a specific medium, you alone are limiting yourself to that medium, but these days you are expected to know digital too.
Understanding more mediums will allow you to feel comfortable in different situations, even if you have to subcontract a photographer for a shoot, if you have experience with lighting and camera use you can comunicate better and steer the project into the direction you think it's best.
Besides, you can still dedicate yourself to do only business card and never really become a 'master' at it.
I personally like to wear many hats otherwise it gets boring, only print or only digital, becomes a rutine. Overall I like to keep it fun for me, so I can pretend what I do is not really a job, even if the money is not good.
