LEARN A SKILL THAT INTERESTS YOU BUT WILL NEVER GET YOU A JOB?

or 

LEARN A SKILL THAT WILL GET YOU A JOB BUT IS OF NO INTEREST  TO YOU?

MY ANSWER:

This is tricky because I genuinely believe that anything you learn can be monetised in some way....also...there are so many parameters when it comes to the word 'skill'. Does this mean, baking bread? Changing a lightbulb? Doing your taxes? Learning to play the guitar? Wrestling alligators....? Or am I thinking way too deep.....??

Either way....I think I would choose learn a skill that will get you a job because once you've got that out the way.....surely you can learn anything you like as you've always got that 'job-getting-skill' under your belt?

Not everything should be focused around work or working. Art can be enjoyed without the need for it to pay.

I’ve learned tons of things for work that are not very interesting! Learning something interesting sounds great 👍🏻

I already have a job, what I NEED is to learn how to weld spikes onto my truck for when the FUEL WARS hit, and maybe also how to fry up human meat so you can't taste the human.

Learn a skill that interests you. Life is too short.

I did both, the stuff I like is technical and landed me a great job making six figures
