Definitely "will this actually be useful". There are many things that I can learn but only a small subset I can actually use at my current job.

Absolutely this. I have the same problem. There's little to nothing I can learn that will help me at this job.

The languages and technologies that I find interesting won't help me find a new job here, and the ones that may help me find a job just don't excite me.

Yup, just got to try your best to learn what you can and try to apply it where it makes sense.
