arrow in the quiver
One of several options or alternatives available. With all this varied job experience under my belt, I have more than one arrow in the quiver if this particular career path isn't to my liking. I've got a job interview next week, but I'm still handing out my résumé so that I'll have another arrow in the quiver. Luckily, I had studied graphic design in college, and that gave me another arrow in the quiver when my hours were cut back at the office.
