To be fair, assuming you are a developer or an entrepreneur, your basic job description could be boiled down to either constant self re-education (coding skills transferred to platforms that did not exist when you started) or adaptability.

I feel, being in this field that requires constant learning (there are some jobs that require only static ability, e.g. COBOL mainframe), that we have a jaded view of what it takes to learn something new. Going from accounting to HR is a big leap, completely different domain (not like picking up iOS after doing server-side Java)
