If we take a look at certain professions that were common in the past and now are not, I think we'll find that it often lines up to what you're saying. For example, cobblers used to be much more common, though not overly so (from what I have read anyway) as making shoes is a technical skill and a painstaking one at that. However, everyone who could buy shoes once went to cobblers. Now, (in the Western hemisphere anyway) custom shoes are extremely expensive and tend to be held to an exceptional standard of quality. But yeah, perhaps there is a clown version of "entry-level position" but "5 years minimum of related experience required".
