Like you said, skilled graphic designers are in high demand. As a software engineer, I made over 70k base my first job out of school in 2006, with similar perks. And this wasn&#x27;t even at Google&#x2F;Microsoft&#x2F;etc.<p>So I don&#x27;t think if I were a good graphic designer now, I&#x27;d be stoked on 70k a year in most locales.
