As a developer, I am always learning, but many times I don't care to learn anymore about computers. Those are the times that I look forward to going home, and picking up a book about whatever I'm trying to learn about.

I agree that a lifelong commitment to learning can be a source of ongoing enjoyment. I didn't mean to imply that he should focus all of his learning activities on his job, or job related topics. What I had meant to convey was that learning was normally a component of most jobs. I also agree that taking a break from the computer and work related topics by reading a book is a great way to recharge and learn something new.
