Does anybody know which earns more cash. A web designer, or a software engineer.
In most cases software engineers make more money - you could look here: http://salary.com/home/layoutscripts/homl_display.asp
btw, a SR. Web Designer could also be a software engineer
although i suppose a software engineer is more work, to be able to learn c++ is harder than html, javascript, css...

oh right, stuff like php, and java.i suppose thay are simular to c++. My friend knows Java, that seems a bit like C++.
you should also add on Flash (and action script), Photoshop and being comfortable with graphics and other graphics dedicated software - and overall, you have to be creative.

If you're trying to choose a career based solely on the amount of money being earned "today", then you're making the wrong choice.
Web design was "hot" for a while and commanded huge $$$, but as a result the world was suddenly knee deep in wannabes and salaries crashed.
If you like the job and the money it at least adequate for your needs then go for it. Because it really will have to pay huge $$$ to make a sucky job worth doing.
No offense, but Flash and action script are 2 things that I'm leaving out of my tool box on purpose.Quote:

Those two careers differ greatly. As was said before, choose the one you'll actually enjoy doing.
