We can take some forays into books and stuff, but at some point we actually have to level up on our class skills, or we will really end up someone who's not good at anything. Sure, Tlalli is a melee/astra specialist. But are we going to learn melee from her for 3 hours, and then next time we meet a poledancing specialist, we'll pick up poledancing for three hours?
When we meet someone who has a specific skill that we can pick up quickly, then we might do so even if it's not in our core skillset - such as, I don't know, basic lockpicking. But right now we are a level 1 noob with a slingshot, and I'd like to hope that we know one combat skill well enough to actually fend off the next threat we encounter without another round of "Stare at them stoically".
