Most likely a single specialization won’t span your whole career, so have a solid general base and then delve deeper into something you enjoy.
A broad base will allow you to re-train much easier, plus draw parallelisms from your areas of expertise into new areas.

One of the biggest hurdles beginners face is not knowing how to push through "the gap" and reach a level of competence where they can actually produce work that aligns with their vision. Being able to draw on the memory of already having done that in the past can be very powerful, and can help you acquire new skills more quickly and with more tenacity than others.
