Is software engineering really a discipline uniquely filled with constant learning, changing, etc.? I imagine many jobs have an element of this. Software engineers keep learning new things about software engineering as the discipline evolves. Civil engineers keep learning new things about civil engineering as the discipline evolves. And so on... ...but the constant learning, changing, etc., is only tied to the demands of that particular job. Whereas in adolescence, not tied to any particular job as a set identity (and with free time on a level no longer available once one must take up a full-time job), one may frequently be exploring whole new topics of interest, developing breadth and not just depth.
