I don't necessarily... « à temps plein » or « full time » means as a main 
occupation. The definition is variable, but in my country, this is 
normally assumed to mean 30 hours per week in a sustained way, especially 
50 weeks per year. Even when including all the non-patching activities 
that revolve around Pd or mostly-Pd projects, very few Pd professionals 
put that much time in Pd. Are there any at all ?

If you don't mean that, then it's probably not a matter of your skills of 
English, but rather about stating your opinion precisely enough.

But yes, I agree with what I think that you are saying. But I think that 
there is a continuüm of time investment that gradually makes the learning 
more worth the effort, and it begins at a tiny amount of part-time such as 
just a few hours per week.
