Figuring out which way to jump is always a tough one, but I would
agree that ditching an existing job is not a pre-requesite for developing
skills, in fact having an existing outlet for new things learned can be
a VERY useful resource for anyone wanting to get better.

There are a LOT of resources available to develop in both a speedy
and very meaningful way. On/offline resources in terms of classes,
books, DVDs, Downloadable training and free tutorials and discussion
groups can help you develop quality without losing the safety net
of an existing job. IMHO
