Depends on how good you are at your bit of everything and how well they tie in to one another. Also where you work.

I'm 31 now, went to College for 1.5 years for Web Development and then became a Flash Developer working at a big tech company for 10 years. I'm now working on my own startup. I'd consider myself full stack developer now and I'd say I'm good at design. I just did what I was interested in. I mean 10 years in Flash and now the technology is dead but whatever. I learned a lot and much of it was transferable into web development today.

The key thing is to just keep learning. You can never go wrong if you keep learning.
