I think it was stryker who said something like "specialize, skill up, unlock, generalize" somewhere, and i totally agree.

its true you will gain them
additionally, but its not true that you will
lose them. you cannot lose gain oppertunities.. they're like the monster in ur wardrobe.. always there.
to continue from my analogy, if i was to stick to laser sniper and make it all the way up to coolness w/o touching any other profession, i'd have lvl 1 coolness. now, if i was to then switch to melee (currently lvl 0), then for sure, my screen would be green.. gains everywhere, because i'm using relatively new skills i haven't used before. lets say i did this untill i got to 1k coolness. i might pick up 3 or 4 hp points this way.
now lets go back to when i just unlocked coolness, and lets say i just stuck to using laser rifle. i still get quite a few green, but only from the coolness, as thats my only new skill (rest from laser sniper profession are quite high lvls so very few gains). this way, i'd only gain about 2 hp, because i only got 1k coolness (~400lvls for hp gain), and i didn't gain any other skill that got me hp.
whats happened here is not "lost oppertunity", its quite simple logic. to get what you call the "lost skil/hp" back, i can simply switch from sniper to melee now, but even though i've "used up" the "greeness" of coolness (ie not many noob gains coming now), i can still pick up the couple more hp from the melee skills, so you see they are not lost.. they just came at different times.
the same reasoning can be applied to even earlier, back to when i had lvl 20 laser sniper, and lvl 0 everything else. i won't lose anything if i switch to melee then, i'll just gain everything at different times.. ie, the couple melee hp now, and when i finally unlock coolness, i'll gain those hp when i get 1k coolness, doesn't realy matter what i use to gain the coolness, as its an all-rounder skill.
the only thing that will "change" is the time it takes to get to coolness. ofcourse if you dabble you'll take much longer. thats why striker/whoever said don't generalise.
