At which point, the industry is left focusing on rote tasks because there's no one left who can handle anything more complex. And when you're left with rote tasks, the only real option is for the processes to be automated. This trend is accelerating faster and faster every day. The declines we've seen in print employment over the last couple of decades are nothing like what we're about to see over the next. I'm glad you made it out.

I used to be in the printing industry (about 30 years) mostly in prepress and for the last ten years of it digital prepress and direct-to-plate. I am now in a different career entirely and while sometimes I miss it, I realize that now there is really nothing to go back to anymore. It's gone. Most people do their own stuff nowdays and then give the complete files to the printer to RIP output and that's it. No real art or craft to any of it anymore. The glory days in the printing business ended a couple of decades ago, and it's slowly petering out, little by little. I myself decided not to wait around to be downsized.....
