1. Good fucking luck. Now you’re gonna be competing with AI art.

2. Not for me but cool for those who can make it.

3. Anyt job that can prevent me from starving and being homeless is worth it .

4. a potential job for pursuing art and making some sort of living wage from it

   HOWEVER, its a job with a metric fuck load of competition. also a lot of companies will merely contract out individual pieces so full time jobs aren’t a guarantee.

   4/10 stability prediction, possible, but many likely hurdles.

5. The creative aspect can be fun depending on where you work, but the job market can be saturated and there is not always upward mobility.

6. it’s great if you have a trust fund.

   not so much if you don’t.

7. My degree is in Graphic Design. I discovered pretty quick that I didn’t like it. I don’t like my art being dictated, and constantly trying to explain to people why certain color combinations don’t work, and why certain fonts look ridiculous.

8. I advise against it because it’s against my religion.

9. As a graphic designer, it’s clear 95% of the responses in this thread have no idea what graphic designers do

10. I think people who become graphic designers are the lowest of the low.
