Recalling Career Advice from the creator of Dilbert:

Capitalism rewards things that are both rare and valuable. You make yourself rare by combining two or more “pretty goods” until no one else has your mix. > http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2007/07/care...

There are lots of AWS guys, lots of generalist PMP's. Not many AI engineers with PMP. *Reference Linkedin.

Scott Adams is a clever guy, but referring him as "the creator of Dilbert" makes the advice sound like satire :p

Also Cal Newport, MIT computer scientist, says a similar thing - do things that are rare and valuable, which he calls "career capital". I'd recommend the book, So Good They Can't Ignore you.
