How hard is it to get a job in the Graphic Design field?

Question

I'm currently majoring in the field of Graphic Design, I love it, and I'm finishing out my first year, so far it's been very easy and I've been on The Dean's List every semester (which is quite a surprise since in high school I was averaging C's and D's). I'm just wondering how hard it will be to find a job once I get out of college. I live in Ohio, if that'll better help with answering I'm not sure.

Also was this a safer career choice over Fashion Design or Interior Design, or does it fall into about the same risk zone?

Answer 1

Congratulations on your good grades in Graphic Design. It looks like you have found the field that's just right for you.

If you are completely dedicated to this field, then you will immerse yourself in it, and by the time you graduate, you will have the skills you need to get a good job in graphic design.

Once you are in the job market, you need to have a diverse portfolio to show what you can do. While you won't make a big salary at the entry level, if you have excellent creative skills, you can move up quickly. "Good money" comes about 3-4 years after you graduate, if you have the talent.

There are a number of cities in Ohio with very large markets for Graphic Design. Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, Toledo, etc. have a large number of advertising agencies and graphic design firms. In addition, many good printers have their own design department. Work hard, give it all you have, and you won't have any trouble finding a job.

My opinion is that you made a very good decision in choosing Graphic Design over Fashion Design or Interior Design. Neither has the long-term job potential offered by Graphic Design.

Good luck.
