That's the theory.  Currently however, this isn't as marketable a
skill as it once was.  Experience showing you can adapt helps a little
more though.  In my experience interviewing in 93 and 94, for everyone
I talked to who was interested in past work and grad school, there was
one person with more hiring authority who wanted to know what I had
done recently, and one who wanted to know why I hadn't done much C++.

Your mileage may vary, since I think timing is even more important.
