So, I'm looking it up online, and apparently entry-level graphic designers make about 30,000 all over the place. In bigger cities, they might make about 35-38. However, the cost of living can be almost 50% higher.

Anyways, I don't know if anyone's even reading this, but if someone knows anything more than I do, maybe you can give a little personal input? From what I understand, NYC is so saturated in graphic designers, that it's hard for them to find jobs now. What I'm really trying to figure out is what it's like out west, like in Cali and Seattle. I'm tired of the south, and I don't even like the north too much, so I kind of think that I belong out west, but I know the cost of living is so much higher.
