    There are still a lot of 40+ graphic designers. The ones who have been able to make the digital leap are still working. Think of Doylad Young: the guy is 81 years old and probably knows Illustrator better than I do. Not to mention, his output has not slackened one bit.

    Then there are the older designers who go on to become creative/design directors or start their own businesses. Many of them end up in more managerial vs. hands-on roles, which is exactly what will happen to many of us (though hopefully not to me – I enjoy getting my hands dirty far too much :) )
