Take a look at Scott Adams' post on dual areas of expertise. It's one of the best primers on how to think about a career:

Thanks for the read, just finished. The most interesting thing about this post for me is that what he's saying seems like it should just be common sense -- of course that's the way things are, it makes a lot of sense and is a very logical way of thinking about it.

That's kind of what bothers me about it. It IS obvious and logical... so why hadn't I considered it as clearly before? Why is everyone so narrow in our focuses after graduating college? I don't know, and quite honestly it bothers me. It's a good read, but I can't shake this slight feeling of anger and frustration; I almost want to blame the school environment and society, but I feel that's naive` and not where to place the blame?

Feeling pretty mixed right now, haha.
