    "And digital agencies don't want designers with print experience "

    ...................................

    I'm sorry, I would imagine that this is incorrect.
    I think print experience (and education) is essential to become a good graphic designer, period.
    I believe that while there are some exceptions, you can tell when a site was developed by someone with print experience, because of how the content was organized, the use of grid, etc.

    I mean you still want someone that has the experience required to build a site if that's what you will be doing mostly, but I would hire someone with experience in both areas over someone that has only on-line experience, and I doubt someone gets rejected for having experience in more than 1 area, unless he/she is over qualified for the position and I can't afford to hire him/ her
