There is nothing wrong with having a broad skill set, I probably have one that is overly too broad. I know a lot about a lot of general topics but not enough to be really good at most of the things that I do. Some of the things that I excel at are teaching and summarizing information (which sort of go hand in hand) so I have that.
The rest, I just kind of pick things up as I go along and usually get good enough to do something with it. Now when it comes to throwing money on the table and asking someone to pay me to do something, maybe, I don't have enough of what it takes just yet to do things at the level that I want to do.
Nobody wants to pay for something mediocre, even if it is something cheap-- they want the best of whatever for that price range. When it comes to the free market, you have 2 options, either be the best or hope/make sure that no one finds finds anyone better than you (the two are totally different).
In ideal circumstances, the free market would be a meritocratic animal, but in reality it isn't. All I can say is do pick something that you can be really good at, you might end up enjoying it or you'll get the freedom to what you really want through using it.
