As someone grappling with a career that has seen fits and starts, bouncing between roles this is an interesting perspective.

I'm currently looking at jobs and definitely harbor a lot of self-doubt because I don't have specialized skills that match desired skills, but have so much other experience outside of any one domain.

One of my aims is certainly to sit down and master something in the domain of work that can make things smoother / more sustainable, but at least going into jobs assigning proper value to my suite of skills is a helpful thing to keep in mind.

Don't confuse programming different projects.. or I assume civil engineers doing different civil engineering things, or chemists. Even writer switching between reporting for the sports page and writing romance novels. ..

Jack of all trades would be in all of the above, plus woodworking, playing violin, learning a foreign language. .. thing that are all fine alone, but too different to master them all.
