Would you rather be a jack of many trades or a master of one?

 

Why?

[Ash 26]

Jack of all trades. Would be great to be able to do a lot of different things.

A jack of many but I would want to be at least - very good at all of them!  But anyway, among the things I am good at - it is true I am better at some than others, but I don't think you'd call it mastery!

Jack of all trades, if your main trade goes dead or lowly needed, you need something else to fall back on.

I would pick jack of all trades as well. Even if I didn't master them, all I need to be is proficient enough to get by. I would love to learn how to take care of the house better. Fix the plumbing, do electrical work. Not to mention using a saw to build things for our home & yard.

There is actually beauty in diversify, so I would like to be talented or skilled in a lot stuffs which would also help me cope in whatever situation or environment I find my self. So I would definitely pick jack of many trades .

Jack of all trade is a master of none and it's going to make you not have good and deep roots in the trade that you are involved in which might take away some jobs from you. It's why I love trade specialization.

I am a perfectionist and becoming a master of one trade is what gives me the impression that I am doing well. You can't even analyze life from the angle of doing a lots of things at the same time and think it works well that way. One should focus on one skill and become an expert on it as that is the only way to make the world a better place.

Jack of all trades. Definitly much better than being an expert in one area. You would save a lot more money, by being able to do most everything with out having to hire anyone.
