Sometimes, being "stretched" by new knowledge could be painful--one might not see the use for this knowledge.

However, when one looks back upon the occasions when one's knowledge was "stretched," one frequently feels grateful for the acquisition of knowledge, and frequently even desires to share that knowledge with others who might feel stressed when their brains are "stretched."

I already like learning things that have no immediately apparent usefulness it's just for me I see that sort of thing as more of a hobby.

If they make broad knowledge and non career related learning obligatory it seems to take too long before I get to start my career (more years before I find out whether or not I like it).
