What a great comment. "It's an ill wind..."
When I was young and credit was not an easy thing to come by, I made old things last and thrived. As credit got loose young guys with new toys passed me by. Maybe I'll share your moment.

Specialized skills fell aside as sustainment skills became critical. Artisans and artists were replaced by the jack-of-all-trades. Twelve hundred years or so later such a "jack of all trades" would be acclaimed as a Rennaisance man.
Many professions, medecine especially, have been ruined by the specialists who know next to nothing outside of their very narrow area of expertise. We need more jacks of all trades and the sooner the better.
