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 ?

Graphic design might have to be a subset of your professional career. Take it from others who have also studied it and are thriving— it’s just one small tool in their toolbox.

Imagine you're a swimmer that cant tread water? That's how I view design, having a 4 year BDes in GD. Very critical skill that enables me to do everything else plus gives provides me with validation+proof for clients.
