You could buy conference tickets, they are usually pretty pricy if you buy the "corporate" tier.

Books are always a good investment.

If you don't like coursera, try udemy/edX or maybe individual people who offer coaching/training in your preferred field.

If you need any equipment for data engineering (idk, a better video card?), you could go for that. Embedded engineers could buy a raspberry pi or a beaglebone for example.

Idk if that's common but I guess you could pay for cloud services that you used to learn/pet projects in your domain.

What helped me is measuring my "success" by how much I've learned and not by finishing a certain course. I might watch 2 lectures from a course and learn 80% of the things I needed to learn for a specific project, I don't feel bad about not finishing watching. At least I try to :)

if Unix utilities could do a thousand different things instead of just one - then yes :)
