So I am really disppointed being a designer, I am hardly making $1K per month as a freelance graphic designer with more than 5 yeears of experience. Still I am unable to make a good income. What advice would you give ?

Also seems like a super competitive market. My parents wanted me to get into that in the early 2000’s. Luckily I wasn’t interested but seeing the world now, pretty much anyone with photoshop and a YouTube tutorial can do graphic design work, and they’ll likely do it for way cheaper than a career designer would ask for.

Not invalidating anyone who is a GD, but it def seems like one of those careers that was great 25 years ago but has been taken over my it being accessible to anyone with a laptop.
