I don't know what age range you are talking about, but to anyone in his mid 40's who used to used QuarkXPress, sent/received files in zip drives and worked only in print I would suggest the following:
Learn to share knowledge and collaborate, I used to work with very secretive designers at printshops, only they knew how to prepare the file to be printed and they never share any template making the process longer, they used to see everyone as rivals.
Also not to be afraid to try and error. In print production mistakes sometimes are followed by colossal financial losses. Webdesign allows you to work in a sandbox, but even if a server goes down for a live site, or any error in code will have a solution, as an old friend used to say: type the error in Google because somewhere in the world, someone had the same problem before.
