8. Graphic Designer – Average Yearly Salary: $44,150
From notebooks to phones to the packaging on food, just about every object you own has, at some point, passed beneath the bloodshot eye of a graphic designer. Graphic designers are highly skilled and specially trained to make sure that all the visual elements of a box, website or flier sync up to communicate as effectively as possible. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about one-quarter are freelancers.
What you’ll need: Most designers have a bachelor’s degree, but equally important is a strong portfolio of student and professional work that showcases your skills. It also helps if you’re slightly obsessive and have a hate-on for bad kerning.
