Thoughts on the Lumber Industry

I recently read that the Physical Lumber Industry is dying. The issue is that I recently accepted a job as a Lumber trader. I would like to think about switching desks, what do you think the exit opportunities would look like if this industry dies. Also, do you think I should get my experience and leave or cut bait while I'm still freshly minted out of school and try to rebrand myself? Thoughts?
