> In most subjects you are "continuously educated" ...

A very wise man I once knew always quoted an old Polish saying to us youngsters... "education does not end at school but at death" ...cheerful kinda guy...

I agree, in most walks of life you are always being "continuously educated".
But I think, it's much more so a case of this with anything that's technical.

In any professional field you never stop learning. But in any professional technical field, the re-occurrence of a whole new learning curve is by far much more frequent. For example; a doctor spends 6 years at UNI, graduates, finds a job. In a period of say, a year, what's likely to change in this field? My guess is new or improved medication and not much else.

Consider the same scenario for an engineer. What's likely to change in a year?
A bloody lot more! I recall my old college teacher telling me that a technician
can render themselves redundant within 5 years of finishing their trade it they don't constantly revise things. This could mean a whole new learning curve if you've been out of it for too long. So far as to say redoing the entire trade again. Can't picture a doctor ever having to redo UNI.
