I recently left the South Texas market after about 15+ years and decided it's time to finish my degree and pursue my career in the medical field. I was in school (junior) when I started a service bureau providing film and scans and thought it would be great, I now wish I had continued on with the medical field. There will never be a shortage of work or for that matter probably little to no layoffs if you are competent at your job. In 3-5 I should have my CRNA certification and when people act like it is a life or death situation it really will be Not this artificial sense of disaster that always lurks around every corner in printing when a problem arises or a deadline cannot be met because of issues not related to you at all.

Farewell print industry, I will still lurk and comment though.
