Yeah, that'll get me the job but it'll still have the same problem: Only getting paid to have knowledge of just one thing.
Companies don't hire generalists that can get a lot of different work done. They hire specialists that are like cogs in a machine. That way they're much easier to replace and a lot cheaper too.
As an aspiring generalist myself (that's just how my learning process works) I'm concerned about this
Well there is a plus side: Being a generalist means that when you're looking for work you have a lot more options than say, "Java Guy" and a lot more options than say, ".NET Dude".
The pay won't be as good as "COBOL Beastman" but that's just survivorship bias 🤷
