    If you really want to learn something, go learn it. What’s stopping you?

    Work.

    If I don’t work full time I can’t afford to house or feed myself.

    Work wipes me out mentally leaving me no mental bandwidth to spend what precious little time I have left to go learn, even if I want to.

    I would love to be able to dedicate time to learning like I did when I was at university but even with the government funding available to me I would have to upend my life.

    I do spend time doing learning around things that interest me but it is depressing how little bandwidth work leaves for me to do that.
