Answer #1

Graphic design pays better :) After I got my Journalism degree, I worked at a major newspaper for $10/hour.

Graphic designers can make 5 times that :(

Answer #2

it’s not a matter of which we think is better or not, if we say graphic you might do that but prefer journalism in the end. which one are you so passionate about? if both, why not think of a way to combine both careers? I have a friend whos training to be a fashion journalist, you could go into something along those lines, write and design, hope this helps (: best of luck erin x

Answer #3

Both career choices are very interesting and rewarding. However, in addition to looking at pay, you must also examine the industry. Some may say journalism is a better field for writers (if this is your thing & which there will always be a demand for), but others say in this day and age of the Internet and computers, graphic design may be a better suit for you. I do have to agree with the comment above: I do know several people who are banking in the GD field!

So there you have it: your true passion, pay and demand. You may be surprised at which factor determines your decision. Hope that helps.
