In IT you need to average a few hours per week learning new things just to keep up, since the half life of what you already know is probably about 5 to 10 years. Other professionals also need continuing education, such as doctors, veterinarians, and lawyers, but IT probably requires more than other professions.

You can also learn the new technologies on the job. It requires some active career manenourving and perhaps can't always be done, but I have spent very little amount of time learning outside of work hours in the past 7 years, and am making top rates (and working with latest in-vogue tech).
