Exactly. Knowing something in a variety of fields enabled me to fix devices and appliances, work on my car, do all kinds of home crafts, bond with people over shared interests, dive into more complex topics, the list goes on. I never needed to call a technician/craftsmen. And I certainly don't want to be a worker drone that can do one thing and one thing only (not meant to sound condescending).

Don't let that identity hold you back from getting good at things though, or realising when you're good at something. Speaking from experience, you can still become an expert as a Jack of all trades, it just tends to take a bit longer since you're not spending as much time on one thing all in one go.
