Hopefully not too far off topic...
With mining being so specialized, would you consider a full-time mining job a career killer? I'd hate to wake up in 5 years to realize that my skills have gone to crap and find myself unemployable.
Thoughts?
I somewhat agree but would think it depends on what part of "mining" they are doing and what they do with their free time when the mining does not need upkeep.
The ones developing chips and software around digital currencies most likely won't experience any skill loss.
