I'm 25 years old, graphics designerI can't seem to find a job that's not freelanceI know the cause is most likely companies just use AI nowadaysBut I can't even work on a fucking 7/11 because "you're too overqualified OP!" or if I give them a different curriculum they never call me backWhat the fuck is happening?
>>62735733you live in the age where the power of the individual will trump over slave working for someone else. Have you been paying attention? Why aren't you graphic designing in AI?
>>62735733Jobs/unemployment numbers are shams, economy isn't great right now. Corporations will squeeze blood from stones and run their business on skeleton crews. It's going to get worse.
u gotta crimp politics to get a business in these days. its impossible to self start in corporate america as every loophole is saturated and the big corps saturate the political landscape with stooges that block out any attempt at new businessyou now make faustian deals with scam companies, in which you kill another man for the opportunity to wear a suit, never a watch. you basically say "im your gay man" to a guy who sells a product that he overvalues in a vault. thats capitalism. what i suggest is dont do that but it doesnt make you rich. we're currently constructing a new currency and just eliminate hospitals and itll be good
>graphics designerwhy did you pick a meme career path
>>62735733Yo man, Im 33. I have masters degree in graphic design from an art school. Finished at 26.I found out graphic design is dead and or low pay so in my own time, while studying graphic design, I learnt how to draw concept art for video games. I grinded 10h+ per day for a year and a half, learnt designing landscapes and architecture and got a job. In order to keep it, I learned 3d modeling (hardsurface, organic and VR). Then learnt how to set up scenes in game engines. Then learnt charcter design. Then learnt vehicles and weapons. Then learnt how to do key arts and covers. Then learnt how to present and sell skins in gsme store. I went from a job paying $2.5k a year in a shithole country to $220k with relocation paid. Now i got promotion to a high AD in major AAA studio. Im sure if you put enough effort into this you can do it too, but studying is just the very very very beginning. Learn to enjoy learning and fighting for yourself, none else wil ldo it for u
>>62735733If we're fucked up, you're to blame.
>>6273573344 years old graphic designer here, somehow still employed but when I do lose this job there is likely only one path left and that is working in a sign shop, I suggest you find a sign shop to work in now.
>>62735733>I know the cause is most likely companies just use AINo the cause is 7 billion third worlders being given access to the internet, now you just hire a graphic designer off fiverr and because of currency exchange the few dollars you pay them is a liveable wage in their dirt holes. This has been going on from wayy before AI. You entered a dead field without doing any research, gl next life.
>>62735733learn how to ai prompt, high level graphic design is now just promoting ai all day and the occasional touch up
>>62735733yes make up a different resume for the shit jobs. generally they just want to see you wont leave. that's all. so make up a bunch of shit wagie jobs to put on it and thats it. they wont check cause it's low wage b.s anyway.
