I think there's a common misconception at play here: using proprietary software thought of as a skill
Must be a mix of decades of corporate branding in software and the erosion of trust in the labor market coupled with the rise in noise from various sources...
Skills are what they always have been. Logical thinking, good memory, long attention span, critical thinking, communication (the ancient Mediterranean, the culture which forged the currently dominant "West", valued 'rhetoric' almost above everything else besides physical prowess)
Being well connected, having a sharp mind, cultivating deep knowledge of science, philosophy, language, mathematics. These things are timeless. Using the current brand of software well is a moot point. Software can only become dominant if it falls in line with mainstream design. Learn design, you can intuit how to use relevant software and the badly design tools will be weeded out naturally.
In a nutshell, exercise body and mind. Be strong, cultivate strong relationships. Everything else is just background noise.
