And 'low-level' covers more than just recent graduates here. I have 20 years of experience as a translator, just doing my thing, picking up narrowly focused skills, knowledge, productivity. Learning to use a few bits of new software. But because I never branched out into computational linguistics or other fields that place you at the heart of the companies now making the neural machine translation systems that are now eroding my client base, I am almost as vulnerable as I would be if I had been in the job just 2-3 years.
