Well, in my business, I'd guess about half of those apply to me. I am fairly specialized and I do very little "general purpose" IT consulting. Don't ask me a desktop question - I probably can't answer it (unless you are asking me how to migrate 25K Windows XP desktops to Windows 7 - that I can do). Don't ask me about the best SOHO router/switch/etc. because I can't tell you.
But for Exchange anything, fixing your AD, or anything System Center - I'm your man. :) From: Andrew S.

I don't disagree with what was said, necessarily, except that it doesn't necessarily apply to all forms of IT consulting. Certainly, you can specialize in IT consulting and be quite successful.
