Choosing a Career in the Graphic Communication Industry

The printing industry is one of the largest manufacturing industries in the world, offering a wide variety of exciting employment and career opportunities.

A new video entitled The Pathway to Prosperity, Choosing a Career in the Graphic Communication Industry, designed to promote the advantages of a career in the field, features Ben Franklin (played by well known Franklin character actor Ralph Archbold) and Jeff Hayzlett, Chief Business Development Officer and Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company.
The nine-minute video, jointly produced by Kodaks Graphic Communications Group and the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF), provides a comprehensive and entertaining overview of the graphic arts as a high tech, fast paced, modern industry—in stark contrast to the industry of Ben Franklins days. In his conversation with Franklin, Hayzlett contrasts the graphic communications industry of today with the printing industry of the 1700s.

Haha! Printing (eg: cataloging, print advertising) is a dying trade. Ever since the internet in the 90's, there isn't a need for printed advertisement. It's weak. Large print corporations have done nothing but merge and re-merge with each other. Competition is fierce and not as profitable as it once was (like the 70's and 80's). Just a garbage industry that continues to layoff workers and reduce wages and salaries. To the younger generations: DON'T WASTE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES! GET AN EDUCATION NOW!

For a Graphic Communications video, this is terrible. It's just an infomercial with terrible acting.

I've studied this at school (age 16-19) and i didn't know about the global economy krisis. The thing is that to work at the big machines you don't need an education to do the job*sigh*...I might work with this if I find the visual effects movie/commercial industry way to stressful. I'm lucky that the softwares/programs for printing and visual effects are exaktly the same.
