Have to disagree with you there, at least in the degree is from a good school like Rhode Island School of Design, Art Center, or a good public school. Ad agencies, design firms, architects, industrial design consultants, and companies that design in house all need graphic designers. If my business continues to pick up I'll need to hire one. Not sure how great the job market is right now for recent grads, but overall your comparison= fail!
Exactly you’ll have to hire ‘one’.. People get jobs playing the Piano all the time but if you really want to make a living with it you better go to a school with a great reputation!
