The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!

A jack of all trades is always useful
Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than a master of one.
Most good tradesfolk are, basically - they're just also a journey/master at their chosen trade. Plumbers, carpenters, HVAC, electricians, masons, everyone has to work together so you pick up some of what they do just by osmosis. Later on you'll be doing something totally different and go "oh wait I saw those guys do that this way, that makes sense now".
The number of problems you can solve scales logarithmically with the amount of skills you learn.
I like how you replace "absorb" with "osmosis".
Also yeah agree, tradespeople tend to learn a thing or two of other trade simply being observant, as their job too require them to observe the situation. It's also easier for them to learn as they're already pretty dexterous in manual labour.
