If it's any consolation, I find doing grad school can get ennervating for exactly the same reason: I want to learn a BUNCH of stuff, in LOTS of areas, and I just don't have time.
Reminds me of the John Brunner novel "Stand on Zanzibar", where the one character is a professional paid dilettante who's also a reservist spy: "We'll pay you to learn whatever you want, so long as you learn to speak THIS language, and a certain amount about THAT."
If anyone offers you such a job, however, turn it down immediately.
