I think a job is great for learning, if you take an active role.

For me, I was working in IT, but I was able to build non-IT systems related marketing, sales, product development, HR, and business.

What I would do is listen for someone to say, "I wish I knew X" or "I wish we could do Y differently" and then I'd either write up a marketing/product report or else redesign their old system and have it to them a couple days later.

I learned a ton this way, but I was very active in achieving it.
