I studied a Chemistry specialization in high school. The idea is after graduating that we could run a small chemistry factory. We ha a lot of courses of chemistry.
We also had a course about electric motors, not because we wold have to repair them, but we need to have enough knowledge to understand the guy that would come some day to repair the electric motor.
But it was important to understand that electricity was not our main task, and we should hire an expert to repair it instead of studding all the details about it.
[Other classroom had an Electricity specialization. They had only one shallow Chemistry course, exaclty for the oposite reason.]
I'll go a different direction than soupspaces: "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."
This is why most organizations have more than one person. Most teams do, too. Specialization means that you can know one thing very deeply, but it also means that you don't have to know everything.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) for me, it’s too much fun to try to learn everything. Perhaps I should see it as a hobby, not as my mission in life. For the last 3 decades I acted as if it was my mission. That’s how much fun it is.
But yea seeking connection will be more important.
It's important to know when and how to delegate.

For in much wisdom is much grief, And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
