Exercise 5 - Graphic Design / Architect Intern salary seek & find

Due by end of class.

Take the Salary "Quiz" found at the link below.  Use the internet and various sites to look up salary data for Graphic Designers both here in Tucson and Los Angeles.

Graphic Design Salary Quiz.

  • Think About:  Do you want a family with children, adequate medical insurance, a nice second home in the mountains, swimming pool, etc?  Are you ready for the management demands you will need to earn that sort of salary?  Are you content living more modestly and earning less?  Having more free time to enjoy with family may mean less salary but a better quality of life, or will it?  Would you rather work in a big city like Phoenix, Los Angeles or NYC and earn more/pay more to live?  Would you rather work in Pinetop/Lakeside, AZ and go fishing nearly every day after work (but make much less let alone even be fortunate to have a job at all!)


The survey is worth 50 points.
