I signed up to Coursera, and have taken a contract where I'm getting the chance to learn on the job some new tech. Which is nice.

Every contract should add something to you skill set. The question is are you careful in the contracts you take and have an actual.plan or do you just take the first contract that comes along.
You need to do the former to have a long term career.

Gone are the days of paying for my own training so if and when I choose to go back to contracting I'll have an enhanced CV with several new skills added (hands on as well not just watching a video).
What y'all doing with training if at all?
