And this is consistent with many professions in GURPS. Just about any job in the game requires multiple skills, and the exceptions are really technicians with a very narrow job description. You can see this in just about every template out there. As an easy example, there is a Soldier skill, but no actual soldier at any TL could be even marginally effective with
just that skill.
