Is it possible to get a good-paying Graphic Design job without a Bachelor's degree


Is it possible to get a good-paying Graphic Design job without a Bachelor's degree?
My husband has yet to finish his Associate's degree in Graphic design and would like to know could he get a job without a degree, though he has a very impressive portfolio, knows all of the programs, and have been doing some freelance graphic design work on the side, creating logos for bands and things like that?

He should put together a bang up portfolio, then try to get on with a company as an intern. If he does good, many companies will hire their interns even if they haven't graduated.

of course he can, however, it will be harder for him. Most places will try to take advantage of that and usually try to lower the pay. However, if he gets couple of well known clients and include them in his portfolio, that will definitely help him a lot more. Also have him only display the best of his work in the portfolio and from each category of his work, for example, one cd cover/book cover, web design, package design ect... that way, he will make them more interested to see more of his work and possibly give him a chance to grab the position during an interview. hope that helps and good luck.

I don't know much about graphic design; but I was able to get a good paying job in accounting (a profession that typically requires a degree and certification) before finishing my degree because I had a lot of experience. I still hit the ceiling salary wise, but that changed as soon as I got a degree. Good luck to you both!

Of course. In the design world, a great portfolio is much more important than a degree. Another thing more important than a degree is being able to work well with others and in a company. Designers have a tendency for being anti-social, so I would assume they base hiring someone on the following factors: 1. How they fit into the company 2. Their portfolio 3. Their degree

Development for freelancing has been especially high for software development, website design, information technology, and business documentation. Freelance practice varies greatly.

Some freelancers may provide written estimates of work and request deposits from clients. Get more information on the website. You can almost find any freelance job you want. http://freelancejobs.awardspace.com/ Payment for freelance work also varies greatly. Freelancers may charge by the day or hour, or on a per-project basis. Instead of a flat rate or fee, some consultants have adopted a value-based pricing method-->based on the perceived value of the results to the client. By custom, payment arrangements may be upfront, percentage upfront, or upon completion. For more complex projects, a contract may set a payment schedule based on milestones or outcomes.

Can someone give me some give me some information on travel freelance writing?
I'm not even sure if this is the correct term but the way it was described to me is that a person who is a freelance writer and loves to travel. The articles you would write is about the things you saw on your travels. Where can I get some info on this? Such as their salaries, the job profile etc.
