Hence the expression "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_of_all_trades,_master_of_none" title="Jack of all trades, master of none"><span style="color: #0645ad;">jack of all trades, master of none</span></a>" as someone who is educated in several fields, but is not an expert in any one."&nbsp; When I finished studying social work in 1983 we said this to one another about our training - what have we learnt?&nbsp; Perhaps lots, but also perhaps nothing in any great depth.<br /><br />This morning is like many before.&nbsp; Wake at 5, breakfast then off to the gym for group training.&nbsp; I've been doing this for three years now, and I think this will be my lifetime pattern unless something very unexpected happens to disrupt things.&nbsp; More on this later...my life has changed in the last three years which is curious and exciting.<br /><br />Off to the gym!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7633933167304613236-3803467431170122013?l=journeyman-journal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Journeymanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06163735816453929407noreply@blogger.com0
