Flash is not the first tech to die and it won't be the last. Hell, I spent almost a decade of my career focused in Flash dev... and even when I was learning Flash and ActionScript there were 3 or 4 main platforms I used to work with that I had already abandoned. This is a constant.
Also. Even a long time after Flash was already on the way out, the demand for good Flash devs was absurd, made worse because it wasn't a "hot" platform anymore. I remember we had a Flash project that needed to be maintained at the company I was working at and we needed to hire an external developer to do it. A lucky guy with the skills ended up being paid top dollar for a super easy job for years because it seemed no one else could do it. He was smart and kept his skills up to date, so he had no problem getting out of that scene later, but he surely used this "outdated" knowledge to his advantage. This also happens all the time.
