On the other hand, I have reservations about your friend and the other person listening to books or learning a language during their commute time unless they are not driving while learning. They might just learn another, unintended lesson - "learning and driving do not mix"! I am all for continuing education, and believe your Tile Guy is taking an appropriate direction with his plan.

However, even TTG's planning pales in comparison with a marine surveyor I have spoken with in Missouri. Michael Hunter budgets a very significant amount each and every year for education. He sees this an investment in himself. Michael feels if he is asking his customers to invest in him with their business, he should invest in himself via education to improve the service he delivers to those customers. I had never heard self-improvement expressed this way before but it makes such sense. Every industry needs more Michael Hunters.
