What are the chances of being successful at Graphic Design?

I really want to major in Graphic Design, but I keep hearing how hard it is to find a job with all the competition there is. I’m going to take AP Design and Commercial Art in school this year. I’m not so great with computers, but I’ve been practicing with a tablet and photoshop and improving. Should I continue to pursue Graphic Design, or go for a more stable major?

Don’t listen to people. Go with your hunch. Anything can be difficult or easy in this life. That’s not the point. Anything that is done with the heart goes forward. Competition is a weak way to judge anything. I personally ignore it. Do things based on your internal world, not the external world. People will have all sorts of advices and opinions. It doesn’t matter. Go with what you deep inside feel like doing. And if that doesn’t work, so what? Change it. At least you tried (I doubted it won’t work, following your heart it’s always better).

    I think with any job, it’s a tough market. Maybe more so for graphic design as most companies are outsourcing their work overseas. What you could try in the meantime is to try and get some design work from logo companies that outsource their logos to freelancers. They tend to pay per logo and if your logo is selected, you get an additional bonus from what i’ve heard. Some logo companies are listed below. Hope this helps.
