The need to focus

Heyhey people :) I recently read an article on gamasutra(can't remember the link) about the importance of a good resume whilst sending it off to games companies. Now, although i'm 18 and since i'm not even yet at uni, this shouldn't concern me all that much, i read something which made me think aaa... Basically i am interested in all areas of games development, and don't particularly want to specialise. On one hand i'm thinking i could specialise early and become as proficient as possible in that one area, and in the other i think could become a jack of all trades, but not as good in each individual area. So in short, my question is do i NEED to specialise in a specific area to have a chance to get into the games industry?
