In my experience you couldn't be more wrong. I've been programming for over 12 years and started out with C and C++. I have successfully walked into jobs using other 'modern' technologies with only a few days worth of learning them. Sure, things change but it doesn't take much to keep up with those changes and a lot of what's considered new by all the cool kids is actually the same old stuff in a shinier package.
