Reason 1. Everyone Wants You
What company or organization doesn't have a web site? It is the new first source of information on every company and group everywhere.

Corporations, small businesses, government and educational systems, healthcare programs, entertainment businesses, and more depend on effective web design to communicate with their audiences. Being a web designer means having the ability to have clients in nearly every single industry in the world.

Reason 2. You Can Work Anywhere
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the best opportunities for web designers over other types of designers. You can work at a design firm, full-time. You can work at a corporation, designing its internal and external websites. You can work at a marketing or advertising firm. You can work as a consultant for any type of organization that needs web design.

You can work in New York. Or Kansas. Or your living room as a freelancer. Being able to work anywhere is one of the best reasons to become a web designer.

Reason 3. Your Job is the Future
The internet has already made its mark on commerce, entertainment, and communication. It is quickly exerting its powerful influence in the worlds of healthcare, education, and government, too, not to mention others. Having a hand in designing the portals and interfaces and structures and appearance of the world's most powerful information tool is an exciting venture, and one that is not going anywhere anytime soon.
