These experiences happen infrequently in one's career, because of the cost in terms of money and time. They are delivered in big doses and then separated by years or possibly it was a “one shot and your done” game. What about on-going education? The frequency is a key factor.

The same for those doing the daily commute on trains and buses. There is such a wealth of knowledge available today, it is astounding. Most of it is free. These days, you can also go on to YouTube and learn just about anything. TED talks are great for specific topics and there is now a self-paced study mega industry based around informatio
