Win/lose/draw on blockchain long-term, in between the generally scamminess some of us are trying to figure out if we can create lasting utility/value in the space. Honest answer: we don’t know!

With that said smart-contract programming is (at least for now) an in-demand skill set.

The company I work for is interested in developing that skill set because such people are in short supply. A background in conventional distributed systems is very helpful, but anyone with a solid grounding in CS fundamentals can pick it up. It’s a different execution cost model and it’s an adversarial environment, so one needs to keep their wits about them, but it’s learnable like anything.
