More disadvantages

Some research on answers from graphic designers about the disadvantages of being a graphic designer - here a few below.

"Graphic designers face several disadvantages. One is that their wrists tend to cramp because they're using the mouse a lot. Another is that they may struggle with their art directors when it comes to creating a design that must be edited, or even scrapped based on a client's preference. The last disadvantage is that designers are tied to a computer."

"Like any tech industry job, you can be in danger of having your job outsourced overseas. Graphic designers who work with video games often get laid off after the game ships and can work long hours. Graphic design in advertising can be a somewhat cutthroat option as well. Still, if you like the work, it's not a bad career."

"Being a graphic designer can be very stressful most people will pay you poorly, make ridiculous demands and will usually demand work be done in a very small time frame."

"In big companies, in-house design is one of the first areas cut when the economy sours. Graphic design positions can be outsourced because plenty of freelancers are looking for work."
