You didn’t mention: caring for elderly parents, getting out of an abusive relationship, working two jobs, having a disabled kid, having a chronic illness, being in a legal fight with a neighbour, the list goes on. How many hours a week does one of those take? What if you have two?

Sure, but if you're working 50 hours a week (assuming US, I dunno laws elsewhere) you're guaranteed 2.5 hours of mealtime per week that could be spent watching an informational video or reading an article.

I'm not saying "go back to school or you're wasting your time" I'm saying "you have a few minutes where you could be reading a new idea instead of sitting on social media"
