Wait, have you literally never learned anything 'just for fun'? Like read about an ancient civilization or learned to ski or ride a bike or something?

Riding a bike and skiing definitely hasn't ever helped my employability or level of income... pretty fun though so I'd recommend it.

And yes, people can learn these things inside a school. Although many people also learn them outside of school. But learning is learning.

Sure, but I don't dedicate 12 hours/day for 9 years learning to become a doctor "for fun".

Learning to ride a bike does not contribute anything to anyone but yourself so you're not making a great argument here...
