I've been around longer than that and have needed assembler in every job I've had, although there were a few short assignments that didn't require any assembler. YMMV/

It might help you on Jeopardy but will not be of much help in real life. I took assembler in college & never used it and never worked at an employer that used it. That’s a dozen+ employers over 45 years.
