As the world around us changes, some high value skills will become obsolete. Which ones can you think of? And perhaps a time frame? I can think of Commercial Airline Pilots - they were once rockstars, but now seems like an average career choice with terrible schedules and time away from families. Timeframe - 1970s -> 1990s Blind Tax TC- 450k

Aviation pilots are definitely not obsolete, most pilots were trained from the military/Air Force days however most of them are finally retiring now thus creating a supply gap. They recently raised the maximum age limit from 60 to 65 to keep your license to relieve the burden
It's a total crap profession when you're young. I totally wanted to be a pilot when I was in HS, but once I dug into it, NFW. You have to put in years at a regional making 🥜 (like 50-60k now, was like 20-30k 20ish years ago). Eventually if you make it to a big carrier and make it to captain of a wide body, then you can make 300k and work a couple days a week, but you'll be in your 50s before you get there. Long road of low TC to get to that top TC at the end
Same. It's a really shitty deal and will cost you a fortune to get the required hours unless you go via military
I really can’t think of a job that was cutting edge becoming obsolete wow. Am I mentally unaware or young?

Priests were one of the most respected professions but is now a joke. 6000BC -> 1990s
Management Consultants doing high level strategy only a decade ago were all the rage. Now they’ve all but disappeared. These companies still exist but they don’t do strategy anymore and they don’t pay anywhere as well as they used to relative to other industries.
Really? What does McKinsey do now?
