+1 where I live the jobs with the highest pay grade are for some fancy frameworks. If I've been doing PHP for 5 years on an 10yo framework in a company that didn't feel the need to upgrade to anything. The day I want to find an other job I'm going to be confronted with opportunities that required mastering the latest technologies and I won't find something within my pay range because of this. That is the reality where I live Futhermore, how am I supposed to learn and practice all this new stuff when my company doesn't allow time to learn anything ? Is home projects enough to fill professionnal requirements for mastering a technology ? It's not easy to stay away

Aren’t personal projects how most people learn new technologies?

I used to do that. But right now I am in a high pressure job that sucks up a lot of energy but I don't learn anything new. When I come home these days the last thing I want to do is to spend more time on the computer. I need to do something active or just sleep to maintain my health.
