So I've been reading what

So I've been reading what Brig and Ariana have written over the past few weeks, and I'm struck because they seem to be pondering the same question as me: Is there still room in the web business for a generalist?

See, I'm a little bit good at a bunch of different web things, and now I want to apply those skills as a consultant. But I fear that the wild world of the web is too broad now for one person to sell their services as a Jack/Jill of all trades...

I guess I've gotta figure out a way to get paid for being really, really good at surfing the web.
