25 years ago, if you knew C++ and were and expert in MFC you could write your own ticket. Now I know a lot of unemployable MFC experts. When I first started I was encouraged to learn Cobol, APL and DB2 because that's where all the money was. These days I meet people who think that they Ruby on Rails with a bit of React thrown in is going to last them a lifetime.
My point is that becoming an expert in a particular language, framework or technology and expecting it to pay you for your whole career is a recipe for unemployment eventually.
