What dilema? Is your primary goal to make as much
money as possible, or to enjoy what you do? If the
former, dope up on NoDoze and Red Bull and spend every
waking hour learning everything you may ever need to
know. If the latter, concentrate on what you want to
be doing.

IMO, it's very easy to have both. As a professional,
you should be keeping on top of developments in your
profession and your working industry. Over time, you
develop specialization in the industry while expanding
your knowledge and most-likely your experience in your profession.
