Excellent comments - however I'd just like to add that when you choose
an area for specialization, you do not become dependent upon vertical
technologies. In the webspace at least, trends come and go at a
frightening pace, so being an AJAX specialist may net you lots of
bootie right now and then land you on the bench, permanently, when the
next big thing comes along.
