Even if it didn\u2019t cost anything, there\u2019s still the time needed to be invested. So any way you see it, there\u2019s always a cost to learn anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know I wrote previously that being able to learn or study anything I want is a form of happiness, but there\u2019s also the impact or gains that can be achieved by learning something. Would this knowledge be useful in the near or long future? With the advancement of technology, some processes can be completed very quickly now, and it is simply not \u2018worth it\u2019 to learn to do it. It could also be that what you learn now, like a programming language, might be obsolete or less useful in five-years time. It can also even be that it is not \u2018useful\u2019 now since what you learn cannot be used in your daily life or contribute to your work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what should you learn? I don\u2019t know the answer to that, and when I look at my children, I worry about them. Of course the skills can always be useful, especially learning skills, but the information and knowledge is always hardest to gauge their usefulness. But I guess that\u2019s part of the learning process; finding out what is useful and what\u2019s not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend suggested that I join a professional course, which seems like a very good one, but requires a substantial amount of payment.
