So 2020 doesn't have classes. It has 'roles', and each role has a set list of skills. However, customizing these lists is quite easy, and I recommend it for many players.
Start by picking a role package, like the ones in pic rel. These each have 1 special skill (the bold skill just under the role name) and 9 general skills, and are based on the most common archetypes seen in Night City. (Other regions of the CP2020 world have their own takes on these roles due to culture, economic situation, etc.) If you want to swap some skills in the solo list for some seen in the tech list, just do that. It doesn't matter what skills your character has, so long as you have 9 normal skills and 1 special skill.
If you mean having multiple SPECIAL skills... Yeah, that's not supposed to be a thing. It messes with the balance of the playing field if one player can fulfill half the party's needs because he is simultaneously a super trained, well tuned solo AND a top of the line netrunner while also being pretty proficient at using medi tech and having a bunch of nomad contacts, etc, etc. This is a ROLE playing game and each player in the party is supposed to fulfill a specific role. Being a Nomad-Solo or a MedTechie-Netrunner really messes with the flow and the synergies of CP2020
It sounds like some players just swapped their skills around. The 2020 rulebook is a bit all over the place, and it took several tester sessions combined with what felt like genuine study sessions of sitting down and reading to grasp them properly; that seems like what your referee needs to do.
Play a one-shot or two. You guys will quickly learn where you've made mistakes in character building and in your understanding of the rules.
