How much do graphic desingers make?

I am thinking about going to college for graphic design. How much do graphic usually make?
How long do you think it will take to have an career in graphic design?
Just wanted to know if any current graphic designers and answer this for me?
Thanx

How much you could possibly earn depends greatly on where you live.

You can see an average range here:

AIGA|AQUENT SURVEY OF DESIGN SALARIES 2008

There is another graph of salary averages here:

PayScale - Graphic Designer Salaries, Graphic Artist Salary


Keep in mind, these are averages. You could earn a bit more... but more likely you'll earn a little less right out of school.

Right now, you'd be looking in the mid/high 20's to start, don't let those sites fool you.
