Well, I’m a Graphic Designer and an Adjunct College Instructor and I have a BFA. as we learned design the “old fashioned way”, I am self-taught on computer Graphic Design (1994 to present): I doubled my annual salary in 6 years and tripled it in 7 more years. Teaching (2000 to present): I doubled my hourly rate in 4 years and tripled it in 3 more years. Been flat on both jobs for about 2 years. Also, which was full-time and which was part-time has flip flopped over the years. why do you want to know this?
