    Hi.

    So basically i chose graphics / media for college A-levels and im worried about the future, if there is any high demand and how much they pay graphics designers...

    All i want to know if its an good occupation to reach for and how much they pay them. ( the lowest amount and highest amount )


    Thank you.

    I choose the same carreer path. For highschool college or w/e, Its growing. Average pay is 42k a year which is good. Its differnt then making tags and real art. You are doing what the person wants you to. If you dont like it and they do you really cant do anything about it

    I dont recomend taking it, i was planning to take it, but most of it is revolved around drawing and some modeling, so i'm changing on enrolment.

    It's growing from what I see. If it's something you love, go for it.

    You see 42k isnt much...or at least to me.

    Thats pretty much the only reason I wont choose graphics
    as a career, the pay is to little.

    But as a side job hell yes

    "Yeah, I make 42 grand on the side. Now my actual job..."

    Buddy research on your own, posting here wont help at all.

    Lots of things to do
    put together a commerical
    a billboard advertisement
    create animated films

    all depends on what you go into
    Photography, 3d modelling, animation, webdesign

    it all depends on how good you are on how much you'll make, besides if your single and make 42k a year that's a good income
