Dark room work. I was an avid photographer as a kid, and sometimes did commercial darkroom work as an adult. Now I've got a little $90 Samsung digital, and a bagful of clothes with hypo stains and nowhere to wear them. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hell, photography in general is an obsolete skill. Granted, there are still plenty of people who have great skills and know how to use their camera other than the "standard" setting, but it's changed dramatically. Having your picture taken used to be a big deal and the photographer had to know what they were doing. Nowadays, anyone can take a decent picture... with their phone.
