If you want a serious information on the topic I can recommend a few things that I found useful:
Those things cost a pretty penny but they also contain the kind of information that would let you get a job in the industry. One thing to keep in mind that most of these technologies are several decades old and so you can get 95% of the relevant information out of a ten year old book if you just keep up with news. That becomes a much easier task when you stop using the phrase 3d printing, which has been hijacked by the popular media, and start using more technical and precise terms like Directed Energy Deposition or Vat Photopolymerization. Searching with technical terms will yield you a much higher quality of search results.

I would suggest you start trying to think beyond just additive manufacturing and instead try to think about the bigger picture advantages that additive manufacturing represents, such as:
If you think of it that way you will have a better perspective of what meta trends 3d printing is applying and then you can apply that knowledge to CNC, laser cutting and/or arm robots which share many of the same characteristics with 3d printing.
I'd also suggest keeping your eye on the 5000+ people/organisations/companies who are active in the area but who release new things rarely. Examples of stuff I keep an eye on:
You'll need special glasses for lasers, but for other UV sla [these] (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B003OBZ64M) should be good
