I will preface this by saying I have worked as an IT consultant for almost 10 years. When I started out, I thought I needed to know EVERYTHING off top of my head. I studied books, websites, shadowed other engineers. Within 4 years I went from a telemarketer to a Sr. Engineer making 6 figures. You want to know the most important skill that I learned? How to talk to people and how to find the information you need.

It has nothing to do with being an expert of everything all at once. It is more important to be proficient in a lot of things and have the knowledge how to take 48 hours and turn a topic you know nothing about into something you are proficient at and can sell.
