It depends highly on the career you choose. Here is why.:
Careers can be put into 3 kind of categories. It is up to you to figure out which category your career is in.
1) Careers that need hard skills and little soft skills (example: Physicists); This is where you see brilliant people who may not easily work well with others. They can still be very successful in their career – look at Albert Einstein

2) Careers that need both hard and soft skills – many careers are in this category (example: Accountants, Lawyers – they need to know the rules of accounting or law well but they also depend on selling to clients to build a successful career. Dealing well with clients require excellent soft skills like communication skills, relationship skills etc…)

3) Careers that need mostly soft skills and little hard skills (example: sales. A car salesman don’t really need to know that much about cars, just a little more than the consumer. His job is more dependent on his ability to read his customers, communicate his sales pitch, persuasion skills, and skills to close to deal. These are all soft skills)
