Great input. Speaking from experience, learning one thing and sticking to it helps. if you are passionate about it, it comes naturally and you want to be continually growing in it. SQL was mine (obviously). I started out in support, and when they started talking about the database it was all new to me (SQL 6.5 and 7.0 shop) and something about it clicked. It was love at first site and off I went and here I am. I am not a guru (maybe in my own mind) but I am focused and it has paid off.
