Jack of All Trades: Embrace It
It’s an oft-repeated refrain when referring to government work — Jack of all trades; Master of none. Sadly, it’s a cliché because it’s true. I’ve been the in-house county attorney for Randolph County for 21 years now. Twenty-one years. You’d think that after 21 years, I’d have this county attorney thing down pat, but that’s not the case. Instead, I’ve come to realize that I will never have this county attorney thing down pat because this county attorney thing is a constantly changing animal. No day is ever the same as the day before. Even after 21 years, there is not a week where something doesn’t pop up that I’ve never encountered before.
