Currently binge-watching your channel as a freshman in college for visual communication. I was starting to feel that the college route might've not been for me but your channel gave me hope again as an aspiring Graphic Designer. Thank You for uploading !!

I didn’t hear anything about salary. It's in the title. I wanted to know because when i look at like indeed ect thry all act like graphic designers dont make anything and im interested in the field (career change). But thanks for sharing what you did and any light you can shine in that subject would be most appreciated.

I graduated in English and art and honestly thinking about going back for graphic design I know it’ll be more debt but I feel like I need a change and looking at the work you’ve done inspires me.

Can you please show us the cover letter you used & mentioned at 6:20?

Hey, I’m currently a rising senior on a full ride, pursuing a studio art degree, but I am scared SHITLESS for life after college 😭. I’ve been feeling like I have no clue on what I’m going to do with this degree considering I like to dibble and dabble in different things and also thought about graphic design….any advice???

[chrissyp]

Congratulations again!! I wish you nothing but success!

[savagesaucegod]

this is VERY helpful. Doing graphic communications as an associates and plan on doing a 2-year transfer. I'll make more possibly by doing that but I'm hoping to get a job soon after i graduate. Either way this very insightful and going to try these steps to hep find a career. THANK YOU!!!!

I'm looking for a new start in my career. I really enjoy messing around with PS and I'm learning Ai. I'm afraid that I might not get hired and fall deep behind on bills. I have a BS in Biology and I really don't want another Bachelors degree. Can I get a master's degree in this field?

[nicoleorr]

Hey Mariah! Thanks for the video. The cover letter is the main thing that has me stumped and I really need help. I don't know how to be concise yet impactful. Would you mind sharing yours? If not, no worries.

[LionOJr]

[CinderGirlMedia]

Hi, Mariah. Do you have any advice for someone who was self-taught and did not attend design school? But has a natural eye for design is self-taught and looking to start a career as a graphic designer with a background in Marketing? Please let me know thank you.

[hyliannerd]

I dropped out of college because how expensive it was getting and the major i was going for did not work out for me. I am planning on becoming a graphic designer? Will a strong portfolio work while being self-taught?

[teeu]

I just watched your video it was very informative. I'll be graduating next year and preparing myself to get a job since i can't find a single one which isn't asking for 3 years experience. I have 0 work experience and I'm planning to apply for internships and after watching your video i am definitely applying to them. However im afraid i didn't hear about your salary? As a beginner how much did you earn? xx

[yanivitzhak]

Do you recommend learning on my own or apply to a college/course?
*i have no background in graphic design but it attracts me because i looked for something that i can express my creativity.

Thank you for the video and thank you for the encouragement as well this was much needed 🥰💙!!!
