There's an interesting subculture around the concept of "Quality" which was popularized by Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. If Quality is something intrinsic to the observer/universe pair, learning is maximized along the path of most resonance. Learning-to-learn tricks can often desensitize you to your "true passion" (this is assuming it exists) because there isn't a coherent narrative that allows your experience and skills to compound in a unique way. Instead you have a collection of brute-force gained skills to solve problems for other people and by becoming good at this become numb to what "you" uniquely can see as a problem and create unique solutions to. Analogies may be the exception because they grow, relying on roots and branches. An analogy that doesn't feel ham-fisted is naturally connected to your existing pattern of "you".
