I was trained, aged 15, in a pre-digital studio and had to learn how to hand render copy for copy visuals, how to operate a PMT machine to make artwork, to make halftones, how to build artwork from base boards with a paralell motion using non-repro blue and Rotring line art, how to spec copy for phototypesetting... basically I was trained as an apprentice for five years in all of the crafts that were made redundant by desk top publishing in the space of two years.
Now you don't need any training, you just need two grand cash for an imac and Adobe Creative Suite and you're a designer whether other designers like what you're doing or not.
