Ali, I'd like to reinforce Dave's comments. I started my career in interactive a little over 2 years ago (after undergrad). Since then I've had the benefit of getting experience as an interactive developer and designer. My philosophy was that if you get experience in each of the different interactive disciplines, it will make you a more dangerous professional in whichever discipline you choose to become an expert -- and I was right.
However, you can't let that go on too long. You have to eventually make a decision about which discipline you'd like to master. Because, ultimately, it's the subject-matter experts that are the most successful professionally. So though I agree with Dave, I also think that during your studies it's okay to explore all facets of interactive and gain a little knowledge from each. It will help you make an informed decision about what you really want to do. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
