I just want to know are the working professionals just learning tech for job or thier work or are they still curious like they were in thier teens and letting curiosity drive thier learning .

I'd say about 75% of the new tech I pick up is just for intellectual curiosity. About 20% to stay abreast of current trends, about 5% because it's needed for my day job.
