a jack of all trades is a person who is not an expert in any fields, but knows a little about everything.
jack of all trades often lack an university degree, as they didnt specialize in anything, but studied/learned a bit of every subject.

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.

Someone who is well read or performs well in a large variety of subjects that is admirable and worth mentioning; but on the other hand doesn't know everything about one thing in particular.
A Jack of all trades is similar to the value of a Jack in a deck of cards. It's a good card, but there are definitely better ones out there.
