Conundrum of practical learning: can you reach the personally satisfying returns boundary before the pros move the frontier and drag the PSRD with it? If you’re in it for money as personal returns this is a hard constraint. Learn too slow and you’re learning obsolete/free skills.

One reason I’ve only ever gotten into non-commercial hobbies as practical skills is that the link to financial returns is gone and your learning curve moves at your own pace. Social competition is a function of your personality. I’m pretty slow at hands-on learning.

Normally like your thought, but I feel this is a very narrow viewpoint. No learning is ever wasted, it is in part of what helps a hominid stay young and agile of thought. Also I have never seen much success from folks that don't take the time to master the basics 1st. #my2bits
