Very true, Jim. I'm also in printing for over 30 years. I still have a ways to go but with all the shops closing and others being bought out by the big guys, I wonder how long this will last.jim327monza wrote:This problem will only get worse. I recently canceled my newspaper because they stopped delivering on Saturday and Sunday. I have worked in the printing industry for the past 28 years and can tell you that printing is a dying industry. The competition from the internet is only part of the problem. At 61, I am the third youngest in our shop, average age being around 55. We work 50 hours + per week because their are very few people with the skill set to do this work and no young folk who are willing to com in , get their hands dirty to learn. This carries over to our cars. The folks that I meet at the local car shows are all our age, and when we are gone Hot roding as we know it will go away. I hope that by the time that that happens I am too old and senile to give a shit. until then i will drive my Monza when it runs and work on it when it dosen't.
