    It depends, junior web designers don't tend to earn much and you definitely won't earn as much as a decent SEO executive/specialist can earn.

    Even experienced web designers can struggle at times to make a decent income. In the front end web design market, UX specialists seem to bring in decent salaries.

    Web design is artwork. Are you an artist? If not, web design is not for you.

    Or are you talking about web development? That's programming. Are you prepared to spend at least 6 months (full time - add to that if it's part time) studying programming, then about a year (full time again, more if part time) learning a few languages and getting some experience - before you're even an entry-level web developer?

    Or do you want to be one of those "web designers/developers" who don't really know how to do the job, and who is looking for a new job every few months?

    Why should change it if it has earned you decent income. May be you never felt how hard is it to reach that income level or may be you hardly love web designing.

    Never play with your life, because nobody can afford the risk that will happen. Love your current job if it is already give you a good life, but if you really want to switch your job, then do it slowly until you are ready with the new one you want.

    Could someone translate that into ENGLISH for me? Why is it so many SEO "experts" posting in English on English language sites, quite often from English speaking nations need to go back to 3rd grade remedial classes?!?

    Though to me, SEO "professional" or "executive" is synonymous with scam artist... and "designer" raises my hackles as most don't know enough about HTML, CSS or accessibility to be "designing" a blasted thing.
