the.com/jack of all trades

master of none, but honestly, who's asking for a master right now.

means someone competent at many skills instead of expert at one, usually said half as compliment, half as warning.

from jack meant a generic everyman in medieval england, cheap and common like the playing card; add trades and you get versatility without prestige, the full jeering phrase master of none got tacked on later by people who clearly specialized in being smug.
