Polymath.

That's the correct term for such people who are jack of all trades and master of many areas.

An example is leonardo da Vinci who was not only famous for his painting skills but excelled as an anatomist and astronomer.

Absolutely not. I can be a professional DJ ; with that I can be a music producer , I can be a singer. Jack of all trades i's used for people who are extraordinarily talented and can multitask

I think not.

I may be skilled at a lot of things but an expert in one or even some.

A jack of all trades is a master of none. This saying got cut short and originally said “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” Unlike what our version would lead you to believe, having multiple interests but not being an expert in anything could actually prove advantageous.


Hope this helps

Nice Topic OP.

it doesn't necessarily means master of none.
The Human Brain is capable to Do lot of work .
It can Acquire Also lots of knowledge.
.
Basically is always cool , whatever you learning , you focus truly on it and learn it very well.
.
.
Been an Architect , A pianist , A guitarist, A carpenter, a forex trader and slight knowledge in some lots of things , doesn't make me a master of none.
"Jack of All Trade , Knowledge of All"
WE HUMANS ARE MULTI-TALENTED CREATURES.

It does, venturing in too many business limits you from getting to that almost perfect stage, its just like some one that has stayed in a place for thirty years and someone that has been everywhere withing thirty years, the earlier is limited to his area se he knows everwhere while the latter might just be lucky to know a few key spots.
