One way to look at it:
A 40 hour work week, 50 weeks per year (2 weeks of holiday) comes out to 2000 hours per year. Multiply by 5 years and you've reached 10,000. Just think of it in terms of 5 years of full-time work. Does that make you an expert by dint of time? Not necessarily, but it the potential is there its certainly an opportunity to improve.
