Everything mentioned here applies to any professional discipline. In my role, I consider it to be my responsibility to both myself and my employer to figure out how to stay up to speed on my own time. That way when a particular skill or area of knowledge is needed in my current role, or when I need it to leverage myself into a new role, I have that knowledge or those skills. Giving me the time or the opportunity to do that work isn’t my employers responsibility.
