Are you more of a Jack of all trades or prefer to be a master of a specific thing???

I am more of a Jack. I can do many if not most things to an acceptable level (to me or others I am helping). I prefer to be good in many areas. Some here at work refer to me a the master on Notebook support / repair....but I don't see myself that way...

jack off type of guy :eek

Jack of all trades...........master of NONE here.

Although I'm trying.

I kind of like being able to be "good" at many different things, but there is a definite burden to carry when you are NOT the master of any one thing....kind of a focus problem I have (I guess).

I certainly don't consider myself a master at anything, although I have strengths, I wouldn't go so far as to say I have "mastered" anything. Mostly I feel that the more I learn about anything, the more I realize I still have more to learn.

Hrmmm new BS Degree level.....Jack of all trades... :laughing

 

[Crazykell]

I don't know. I can do a few things very well....but I don't like to do things half assed. When I try something new I want to do it all the way. What does that make me? :confused I guess I'm more of a master I suppose.

Jackoff or masterbaiter?

 

[Mike Reyna]

I'm actually an Engineer with a lot of common sense. I'd say...

Jack for sure, I've had about 6 radical career changes in 15 years, none of which I had actually had specific education for. I think it's made me a more "well rounded" individual, but probably has gotten me into more trouble as well, because I quite often "set people straight" when they spew off about something they THINK they know about.
Actually, that may be a good thread to start, how many jobs have you had...I better search first though.....

 

[frogstr]

The wife has always called me a Jack-ass of all trades!

 

[RoadkillR6]

A definate Jack epecially when it comes to board sports.

 

[nags]

I'm a master of all jacks

 

[FazeX]

Jack here, though I am trying to be a Master. I've noticed us Jacks tend to have too many interests to focus on one thing well enough to master it. It takes me a huge amount of effort to focus and spend time practicing anything. I am trying to master the guitar, or at least aspects of it. I've gotten a lot better lately, but it is still amazing how far I have to go before I could consider myself to be any good.

Maybe us "Jacks" have too short an attention span.....?

 

[Clay]

In my respective field I'd call myself a "jack". There are things I'm better at, but I "know" alot of stuff. I just don't know enough to be a "master" in any one specific area. In some ways it helps me, in others it hurts. :shrug

 

[Baby Gorilla]

Another jack here. :hi

 

[1slw]

Jack

 

[atkpilot]

If there is something I'm remotely interested in I absorb every bit of knowledge on it. I'm only master of two things.

 

[Eugene_a]

I'm a jack... in fact, I'm jacking off right now j/k

Seriously, though, I'm definitely a jack of all traits. "If you want something done right, do it yourself." Sure, there are certain skills that I've mastered and excel at- but my scope of knowledge is well beyond those.

 

[heh2k]

i'm the master of my domain
