If your job allows you to grow skillz, and you are not doing so, and you are not doing anything else with your time beyond relaxing a bit, I think you're wasting time, which is a limited resource.
(Not all jobs allow you to grow skills, and some may allow you to accomplish things you care about while getting the minimum done, so this isn't always applicable.)
This is also a good argument for finding a job that does let you grow skillz. If you have a full-time job, you spend a lot of your time working, much more than you're likely to spend growing skillz "on your own time". Since you generally get better at what you practice, you may as well find a job that involves practicing skills you want to improve.
Good point, thanks.
