Well, to me it sounds more like a skill rather than a hobby.

Getting better at a hobby makes it a skill. Get better at pottery and its a skill, doesnt mean its not a hobby.

Yeah, fair. What I thought was that critical thinking is a skill that everyone should have, which makes it a life skill rather than a hobby where everyone has a different one and its fine not to have.

Though something like learning multiple languages or even just a second language is another example where it could be classified as both hobby and crucial life skill in my books.
