          A term used to describe someone who knows a lot about many things, but, with the second tag master of none added it transforms into a derogatory phrase meant to emphasize how mastery of one skill is important for deeper knowledge.
          However, one, oft forgotten tag is the third one: is oftentimes better than a master of one. Instantly, the term reverses meaning, symbolizing how a person who knows a lot about many things that integrates their skills allows them to surpass even a master of one.
          Interesting phrase, nonetheless.

            Something that school aspires to develop its students into, a jack of all trades is a well-rounded person who has adapted many skills and is somewhat knowledgeable on many topics but is not an expert (or even an apprentice) in most or even all of the said skills.
