We don't know what we might find.

This goes to my question, why Jupiter. As I understand it, humans have limited resources, so I am asking what Jupiter has to offer. If I need bullets and I can only make one trip I don't go to Radio Shack.

I simply wanted to know why Jupiter and not somewhere else first.

NASA, Russia, and ESA have between them already sent probes to most or all major planets and many of their moons and several asteroids and comets. When interstellar probes are sent, thney will also go in all directions. It's not a question of picking just one.
