FWIW, I work in a technical field (very heavily IT) where I consider a wide range of knowledge to be essential.
The newer members of the team have, to my mind, a sad lack of what I would consider to be basic skills for the field. For example - the newest member of our team is studying for a PhD in the field, but knows nothing about networking.
