Want to be a graphic designer? See Part 2. There are more designers than jobs. Capitalism abuses their designers making them over-worked, under-valued, suspicious of other designers, and depressed. (Yes. Really.)
If you want to be rich and famous, study marketing instead.
If you want to be an ethical designer, GO LOCAL. Join a union, a collective, or a commons. Help people help you help them help you grow.
But, don‘t quit your day job.
