Well, if you want to learn things that won't become obsolete, then go with traditional media. 3D applications are going to continue to make it easier and easier to produce high-quality assets quickly. The algorithms we use in our head can be adapted to code. It's not a matter of if, but when.
I'm working on a set of Maya scripts that will automatically add support edges to my hard surface models. It's pretty messy stuff, but it's doable. I posted in another thread about a tool that automatically retopologizes a mesh with pretty good results. The future is coming and in many ways, it's already here.
