Woah, well. I've heard too many sadly. But there were 2 that crashed me:

You should focus and specialize in only one thing, stop investing your time in other areas.

I think we, humans, are able not only to focus and have as many different hobbies as we'd like to, but to do many things really good. The wrong belief of "you'll be good only on one thing" I just can't stand it.

If you don't have a title you won't get a job

Well, watch me. 4 years, still no title, still working in the area I love. Still having many opportunities, and willing to get a title soon to reach even further.
