Save time by learning harder skills first!

I did some math, and it looks like each additional skill you get earns a 3% penalty in time once you are past your limit.  Since the penalty is percentage based (exponential based on time), it means you ultimately save time if you learn the skill which takes the longest to learn first, and learn the skills which take the least time last.  

As sound advice, if you can't pick which skill to learn next out of a group, pick the one that takes the longest to learn to save time.  Of course, you could try and take it much further than that (hint: it might be better to learn Mining 4 earlier before it ends up taking 14 days), but I won't get too far into the math.  

I am sure the "optimal path" with respect to using the least time to train skills would not be much fun to play.
