Also, I find these skills/hobbies to be accessible. If you don't watch TV, you could excel at them. It's probably pretty cheap too. You can go to the library and get books on almost anything, including technical skills.
As for languages being useless, yes and no. In our business (growing produce), we find more and more that were dealing with people who speak... Spanish. How handy would it be if we could speak their language? In the world of business, language definately has it's place. Even more so, body language.
What I took from this article is that you shouldn't let yourself stagnate. Constantly learn, constantly improve.

In the world of business, it's better to hire someone who's fluent in both English & Spanish than to learn it yourself.
