I would draw a distinction between having subject matter expertise and
the ability to acquire a less than expert but still working knowledge of
different subject matters. The former will enable you to go farther in
a specific field, while the latter will enable you to move between
different fields albeit at lower levels. There is something to be said
for both, and which will work best for you will depend on what your
career goals are.
