A jack of all trades is a person who can do many different kinds of work. It usually describes someone who is versatile and able to handle a wide range of tasks.
The phrase has been used in English since the 1600s. It originally referred to someone who practiced many trades instead of specializing in one. A longer version of the saying is "jack of all trades, master of none".
