@inpc @ChrisMayLA6 It strikes me that the US is a poor market for judging the uptake of education. UBI is not going to pay the fees is it. A study requires more thought about what counts as self improvement. I’ve been retired over 11 years. I self teach in anything that grabs my interest. Everyday is a study day. But none of it would be counted as formal self-improvement education even though it has enabled me to hold my own against formally trained experts.
