You should probably sort that out with your current employer or find a new one. Mine provides open access to a ton of online resources as well as maintaining a regular budget for developer-initiated things like going to conferences/seminars or buying books. It's actually rare that the training budget gets fully spent, but on the other hand I've never had a request turned down. For a while, my employer was even footing my college bill when I decided to back for my MS. That one came with a contract to stay on longer to "pay" them back, but that was fine because I had no plans to leave.
