I wrote about 10 different, and conflicting answers to this before realizing that I don't know, and that I disagree with just about any comment mentioning anything specific.. I'm also in the "general" camp, learning to learn is good, for a career, and otherwise, but is it "the right thing" versus specializing ? Don't know. This is scary, because I have a young son whom I also want to prepare for life, and this made me realize I don't even know where to begin.

You have 10 or so years to figure out your answer, which need not be as concise (and should not be, imo) as an HN answer, given the breadth of experiences that life has to offer.
