Just traded away my Nikon 2.8 enlarging lens, the lens I used during my years as a boxing photographer. Haven't used it in 25 years.
The newer professional digital cameras, coupled with Photoshop, really do make all of your darkroom skills obsolete.
But do keep in mind that the new breed will never experience the emotional rush one gets from seeing the first images of a GREAT new print emerging from the bottom of a tray.

It was the seductive aroma that will be missed forever. The darkroom has gone the way of the steam locomotive.

  and fixer too. As a former photojournalist i've mixed up darkroom chemicals in the strangest of places!
  However i've embraced the computer darkroom- Adobe PS.
  I can do far more on my desktop than in a darkroom. Like burn & dodge in real time, than burn in a little then reprint again. In order to see what changed.
  I do believe though, that all advanced aspiring photogs - crawl before they walk. By starting out in a chemical darkroom for the thrill and experince.

"I used during my years as a boxing photographer."
I can see where digital would be an asset. It must have been a bitch to change film with those gloves on.
