Hi, My question is to all people present in Digital forums. Don't you think that IT field especially web, content and graphics related field is too much crowded? Can a person live well in this field?
Depends on the professionalism of this person. Professionals in their business, regardless of the field of activity, will always be in demand.
All the industry has become competitive. It depends on how you handle clients, the work and pricing part.
As someone who on occasion has to hire graphics people, I am glad that the field is so crowded because it keeps the rates that they charge way down.
The field of web design, content creation, and graphics may be competitive, but it is possible to make money if you have the skills and talents. You may want to check out some freelancing sites for opportunities too.
Take care of your customers and they will take care of you. Screw your customers, and you will go broke. That is true for ALL types of businesses.
Looks like my friend's son is doing ok, not that he was ever actually homeless but he has definitely forged his own path Some people get lucky breaks but most get ahead by making sound choices and doing good work. Get involved with networking, meet people look at what the successful people in your field are up to and emulate them. It's not necessarily about spending money on sharp suits and upmarket offices, it's about showcasing your work and other things that will cost you only time.
Nothing can get too competitive if you are providing quality of work well above the others. It's all about having the right skills set that people are in constant demand.
