Category theory and some advanced Haskell I feel that such knowledge is eternal. It won't be obsolete in 2027. ReactJS on the other hand ...
Sales. I have a computer science degree and learned software development isn't for me so I'm switching to sales this year. I'm looking forward to having both the technical skills and sales skills under my belt.
