I&#x27;m a regular HN contributor, but this time I&#x27;m looking for advice from the HN community.<p>I know a little about everything, tried lots of different things (non-technical roles), but I&#x27;ve never managed to find an area to pursue. This is not because of laziness or an inability to focus, thinking that the grass is greener on the other side etc. It is just something that has happened over time.<p>As such, I&#x27;ve become a jack of all trades and I&#x27;m almost entirely self-taught. I can code, design, write, do marketing, research etc. But not enough to be hired into any of those positions, at least on paper.<p>Although there are advantages to being a jack of all trades, I&#x27;m more concerned with not being able to find an area to focus on. I would love to just delve in and become &quot;obsessed&quot; with a subject matter. It has come to a point that when people ask me what I do for a living, I don&#x27;t know what to say. I don&#x27;t really have a job title.<p>Some people have a calling in life, others end up in a profession by luck or coincidence. I&#x27;ve had neither. And this isn&#x27;t about following your passion and all that stuff.<p>So what should I do? Just pick an area with good job prospects and become a master of that since I can&#x27;t seem to find something to focus on?<p>Would you hire a jack of all trades? If so, why? How come there are no job posts for these kinds of people?
