Not all 9-5 jobs are as picture perfect as this.
I work within the Salesforce community and constantly request to go to more training's offered. These requests are continuously denied because the business motto seems to be churn and burn customers, unless they have booku money. Obviously this could just be my company, but it seems like not all employer's really want you to learn more.
Why? Because then they have to pay you more!
It depends on where you work just like you said.. Most gov offices send you to millions of trainings over and over :)
