I'm not majoring in Graphic Design, but I took several classes about Design and am hoping to find work in this field later. I think GD can be like any other job, taxing, but rewarding if you enjoy doing it. Like anyone, you've got to work up from being a nobody, doing boring designs, getting minimal pay and work your way up. But from what I've seen in GD work, it's not going to be much different than other jobs. Let me qualify that with saying that jobs where you have set hours (like start at a certain time, finish at a certain time, don't do any work once you get home) would be easier. But jobs like GD that rely on personal effort, creativity, and determination, the first few years are going to be grueling if you want to make a place for yourself in it.
Not saying you should be a GD
just my thoughts on the job. Hope you figure out what's best for you!
