although i suppose a software engineer is more work, to be able to learn c++ is harder than html, javascript, css...

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.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
No offense, but Flash and action script are 2 things that I'm leaving out of my tool box on purpose.
none takenhowever, most web designers have to learn flash/action script at one point or another.

I guess... but I'm against their practice
Those two careers differ greatly. As was said before, choose the one you'll actually enjoy doing.
