Your right Neal, as society changes jobs do, not many blacksmiths anymore, not many Walkman's, not many CD's purchased, music is downloaded. It's a shame when an industry changes that those employed in that industry are not immediately aware of what is coming and they don't try and prepare. My first job out of college was L.M. Berry, they were an agency that did the Yellow Pages for the Bell's.
Now the Yellow Pages will be completely gone in a few years, all those folks will have needed to change. We can't slow society's changes, they are coming rapidly and to survive we have to adapt.
