Doctors have well defined CPD, they also have one of the longest working hours and some somehow cram in even more work, they certainly get some time paid for the CPD and research.

I work in healthcare development, currently get a day a week for training, other local based companies do similar.

Theres much more important things in life than work, it only really exists to keep you in food, warmth and shelter.

But if your fun is coding, great but it wore off in me when it became work, riding my bike, walking in the hills and interacting with people from different backgrounds is more my thing.

So I'm totally with this.
