Graphic Design being low demand has always confused me.

Graphic design is really hard to do well, and there’s a ton of legitimate need for it. After all, every business needs a logo and a few print ads.

But maybe there’s just not much demand for doing it well?

I could believe that. I’ve seen plenty of small business logos and print ads that were obviously done by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing.

Or is there just a massive oversupply because that’s where all the extra art history students retrain?

I’m going to guess it’s not oversupply, because, again, those mom and pop businesses would have decent logos, right?

I dunno… I’m genuinely curious how a trade that’s that hard to get really good at has such high unemployment.

I guess the aerospace degree has the same thing going, according to this chart.
