Proverbs and Sayings: Jack of All Trades (and Master of None)


Jack of All Trades and Master of None

Meaning: Used to refer to somebody who knows a little about many things but is not very knowledgeable or skillful in any of them.
  • Jack can fix almost anything in the house. Unfortunately, he’s a Jack of all trades and master of none. That’s why it’s very hard for him to hold down a job.



Jack of All Trades

Meaning: Used as a compliment to emphasize a particular person’s wide range of skills.

  • I have a friend who is a bit of a Jack of all trades. He can do plumbing, electrical work and carpentry. In fact, he's the first person I call whenever I need anything fixed in my house.
