Agreed. It'd be quite difficult to measure whether or not someone learns something new, anyway, because of the variety of things available to learn (large and small). If we're talking about learning entirely new skills, though, yea, obviously a cashier will probably not need to learn any significant new skills over the course of their career.

As always, people who do make learning new things a part of their life's rituals will generally be more successful than those who do not.

Nice username, by the way.
