Had a guy tell me today that he's becoming a graphic designer to change paths and I just didn't have the heart to tell him.

graphic designers have been out of work for almost 18 years. the job market was flooded by mediocre no talent hack designers. this drastically dropped the annual salary to basic minimum wage.

now, those same "improved" mediocre designers are losing their jobs to AI.

if the guy can't read the writing on the walls, he won't learn until it blows up in his face.

I partied and hung out with about half the Graphic Design/ Digital Animation majors in college. I know exactly 0 who work in the field right now.
