To put it into perspective with what I do, during the day I work for a telecommunications company. I create various software in C# and Java that we utilize for the departments at this office. I've automated all of the reporting for every department as well, using those same languages, along with VBA and APEX. I've created various intranet websites for the company as well, so I spent some time learning HTML/CSS/JS/jQuery/NodeJS/PHP/SQL/etc... to make that happen how I envisioned the interface in my head. When I get off work, I do various freelance work (more things I know, more opportunities I have with that also) and focus on getting my indie gaming company off the ground. When I'm working with Unreal Engine, I'm using C++, and when I'm working with Unity, I'm using C#. For a big portion of the freelance work I get, it is usually centered around Java. So as you can see, in just a normal, typical day for me, I utilize many different languages and technologies to bring everything I envision together. If I knew only one or just specialized in only one, I wouldn't be able to do half of the stuff I do on a daily basis. However, as you can see, I have a LOT of dreams and goals that I'm working to accomplish, so specializing on just one isn't even an option for me. If you're going into a career where you plan to stay and it involves being focused on something in particular, then specializing in just that could work out really great for you until the technologies change with time.

Everyone learns differently, Jethro. So you'll want to assess how YOU best learn and then go with whatever works best for YOU. For myself, I learn multiple things at the same time and that's how I best learn, as well as how I prefer to learn. It allows me to learn a lot of things in a shorter amount of time, but probably more importantly, it prevents me from getting bored or burnt out on one thing because I switch it up. I think about it like this. In school growing up, did you learn just one subject each day until you mastered it or did you learn multiple subjects each & every day? As humans, we're more than capable beings, so don't feel that it's impossible to learn multiple things each day. However, as I mentioned in the beginning, you need to recognize how you best learn and go with that because it'll be the most effective means of you learning.
