Well, that is one of the two branches you can take, and probably the most financially sound one (plus it can be rewarding if you like that kind of thing). The other is to become a specialist (as in, an expert in something). It's not as common, and most companies don't offer a dual track (and when they do, it can be a trap) The one thing you don't want to take is to get stuck (the "one year's experience 30 times" edw talks about), and I see lots of people getting stuck. I'm kind of stuck myself but I think I'll be able to transition into business soon.
