New research released today reveals the barriers people feel stand in the way of them learning an additional skill. More than a third (39 percent) of adults blame a lack of time, while nearly a third (29 percent) of adults feel a lack of money is the main reason for them not learning a new skill. Sadly 13 percent of adults even said they felt they were too old to learn a new skill.
