A fact of life of job-training programs, is that you can't force someone to upskill. (see: coal miners). I think there's generally a strong culture of continuous personal improvement among millenials, and probably late gen-X-ers as well.
But here I am, later in my career, and I don't honestly see the reward of upskilling. For the time, money, and effort it would take. There's not a lot of things I'd rather be doing than what I'm doing now. And some of those things are maybe 5-10 years of training down the road. And then I'd be starting out at a Junior-level in pay, which is completely un-doable in my situation.
Of course, I'm not obsolete in what I'm doing yet. So I don't have THAT choice to make.
