Hmm, from my read of the CT JOT description, the first part makes sense. But the second seems to me at odds with the text (Starter Traveller, page 15):

Jack of all trades can be considered to confer skill level-0 in every other skill (but never level-1).

My read of that is that although you can avoid negative DMs (or attempt a task without the appropriate skill when required), you can never get a positive DM when using JOT. This does mean any skill level beyond -1 has no benefit.
Curious how others approach JOT in CT - is the skill level of JOT applied as a DM?
