As with anything, there's also too much of a good thing though.

In my own career I switched role to get more time on a area where I felt I needed more growth an practice. Turns out I never got really very good at it, and basically was just in a role I wasn't great at for 6 years. It was miserable. My lesson is "if you know you are bad at something, don't make it load-bearer in your life or career".

There's a reason that one of the big corporate skills books is Strength Finder - because fundamentally playing to your weaknesses isn't a good play, its that you need to consistently challenge yourself to keep building whatever muscle you choose to do. You don't want to build strength by lifting 10,000 pounds all at once, but by increasing your load every day.

In most professions barely anyone is doing the continual education or paying attention to the "scene" for that profession, if you do that alone you're probably already in the top 10%.

Getting paid well doing something you actually enjoy doing is key =3
