    Although some of what's in that article may ring true you've got to keep in mind it doesn't contain any numbers or data. It's just the stories of a few people.

    Overall fields like graphic design and UX design are growing and projected to keep growing for the next decade.

    But I'm sure that heavily differentiated based on what your specific focus is. I think the most difficult are people who don't have that many technical skills and also get stuck in a niche which then goes away.

    • Let's say your career was centered around designing magazine layouts...well no shit you're probably now going to need to find another type of job.yuekit
    • Media has changed dramatically during that time and will continue to change but it doesn't mean the overall pie is getting smaller.yuekit
