A classmate worked as a clerk at a Kodak store in our mall late 70’s while in HS, then manager, then district manager, then regional manager of 6 states. Let go from in late 90’s/early 2000 when cell phones and digital cameras took over. He told me at a reunion he thought he had a job for like..I mean who would of thought Kodak going out of business

Kodak was a titan back in the day. It's amazing how quickly they faded (and Polaroid as well). Getting a professional job at either company say in 1980 would have been a home run and you would have been considered set for life.

Ironically, Kodak actually invented the digital camera. But they put it on the shelf out of fear that it would cannibalize their lucrative high-margin film business.
