Our field rapidly evolves. If I don't spend at least 10-20 hours a week improving my skills and experience new tech, I can find myself obsolete in 5 years time.

I'd prefer to spend it learning AI or Ethereum...those are both rabbit holes in and of themselves. How many hours to become experts in either? 1000-2000?

Because few if any employers are willing to sacrifice 10-20 hours a week to continuing education if the work week is a mere 40 hours.
