Often, someone may be able to do a few jobs, but they’re not very good at any particular one of them.
In that case, people may describe him/her as a “Jack of all trades but master of none”. That means this particular Jack dabbles in a lot of things but isn’t very good.
In other words, he or she is not a specialist, but rather a generalist.
“Generalist” is a big word. A generalist should be expected to do any and everything reasonably well, don’t you say? You have a point. Perhaps a “Jack of all trades, master of none” is really a good for nothing.
That’s a little too harsh, I’m afraid, but you get the idea. It all depends on the situation.
Alright, here are media examples of people or things considered to be “a Jack of all trades”:
1. Did you know that there’s a product in your pantry that’s also a great household cleaner for counter tops and even freshens the air?
Baking soda isn’t just an ingredient for cooking, it’s truly a jack-of-all-trades around the house.
Household Uses for Baking Powder:
• A gentle scouring powder for kitchen countertops.
• A paste (mixed with a little water) to shine stainless steel.
• A vinyl floor cleaner (1/2 cup mixed with a quart of water).
• A way to soften water so you can use less soap. You can add in a half cup to your laundry, for example.
