I am thinking of becoming a graphic designer, but can they have multiple jobs? For example, can they work for a magazine company to design page layouts? Or can they do web design? Can they design animated characters? Do they have to stick to one job only and work for a certain company for the rest of your working life? Or can they go from place to place. Is a bachelor's degree necessary? How much is their salary? I would really appreciate your help! Also, what classes should i take when attending University?

I am a seasoned graphic designer but have been in a sort of "time capsule." Since I have been doing the same design work for a corporation, I haven't had to learn anything new for the past 5 years. However I am looking to find a new job but I want to keep up on my skill sets. So what programs, apps, coding language would be necessary? I would like to consider that I am both, a print and web designer.

I am a graphic designer who is currently job hunting. I joined NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) yesterday. I know the benefits to me as a person and that is why I joined. But what are the benefits of adding this to my resume? Would this give me an advantage over other candidates who may not be part of this? Same goes for AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts), although I am not part of this group yet.
