Is kanji hard to learn and how many kanjis are there?

Question:

Does this question even make sense?:|

Answer:

There are over 50,000 kanji. However, 1,945 kanji are used to be considered literate. Many dictionaries vary on how many kanji they have.


Edit:
Um, 10,000 kanji?! Get real. Japanese only learn 1,945 kanji from 1st grade until junior high. 10,000 kanji would be even more than a doctor would know. Maybe more than 10,000 kanji compounds, but single kanji, I don't think so.
