Graphic design is an in-demand field, and you’ll have opportunities to work in a variety of settings for a variety of employers. It’s projected to grow at around 3 percent, which is a decent increase. Your income varies quite a bit, but most graphic designers can at least make ends meet and even make a fair salary. According to Glass Door, that salary in the Midwest ranges from an average of just $37k to $74K. Many enjoy graphic design jobs because they require a combination of creativity and tech skills- but some environments could be stressful.
