I don't understand how people are not realising that Learning skills are a must-have for any character that played this game and liked it!
Comment1) "Learning skills don't really matter for short skills" - Bull****! Thy matter - period! Advanced learning skills speed your training time about 20% for ANY rank of relevant skills. I have spent pas few MONTHS catching up and training some skills to level 3 and 4 and one or two of level five-s. I have another few months to go too, to complete other level 4s.
Comment2) "I am an awesome character and I have Engineering 5 and I can fly Hacs!" - Bull****! The other character (all things being equal: implants, base attribs, he has been training regularly and trained for similar things you were going for) has already reached your proficiency level and by the time you realise that you need to train your learning skills, he is already training his stuff 20% faster, and by the time you are done with your own learning skills he is already 3 mill SP ahead of you! You like free 3 mill SP?
So get your butt on those learning skills unless you want to be even more behind your mates that joined your school on the same day. Look at it this way though... Some players get so frustrated/bored learing them at the beginning that they quit the game early. At least you have lots of toys to play with while training.

Give it a rest blowhard.
They're not a "must have."
Just getting the basic learnings to level 3 is good enough. So you train slower in the long term. Big deal.
I know plenty of people who did learnings to basic 3 and never touched it again.
Me personally I did basic learnings to 4, adv per 3 and adv int 3. And if you ask me, the adv learnings were a waste of 3 weeks of my life. I coulda got like 20 skills to level 4 in the time it took.
I was so bored I almost quit the game.

Train them, but don't think that it HAS to be in one big block.
For example:
I trained up in Industrials because it was the easiest way I could make a lot of money at the get-go while training my Learning skills. Just a quick run to Industrials 3 and then I started on my block.
However, I needed Afterburners and other such items to make things go even smoother for me. Rather than think "OMG, I have to train Learning in one big block or I'll be useless!", I just trained what I needed and went back to my Learning tree. I'm an effective hauler while my Learning skills are training up.
The same can be done for fighters, although it may detract a little bit more from your time spent Learning. Frigates can certainly be operated well with Level 1's of skills, so you can roll through the fun Kill missions and such while your Learning skills are training up in the meanwhile. If you need something else, like Warp Stabs or Webbers, you can just take a quick 30-minute break from your Learning tree in order to train up 1 or 2 levels of something you'd like to use at the moment.
Moral of the story:
Yes, Learning is ridiculously important. But don't ruin your fun trying to learn them all in one continuous block.

I think its a long run thing however I have all my learning skills done and I have to say that I would much rather it take 4 days to train level 5 gunnery than 5 days to train level 5 gunnery!
