Whether designing high-end cabinets for a major manufacturer or crafting custom-made rocking chairs for your artisanal business venture, having the talent and dedication to make your work stand out will prevent you from going out of style anytime soon. There's something timeless about this profession that can't be tarnished by technology. Just get ready to work hard and rage against the machine (if need be).
