what creative role do you think is making most money these days? I remember a time when copywriters were making nothing but seeing a listing with a 100K+ range now is more than common. Same with graphic design. And now, the most niche career are the ones minting money. Drop names of what you think are the top two most lucrative careers.

I made over 300K in 2024 as a CW/CD. Good enough for me.

Wow that's amazing! How many years did you work in an agency setting before you went freelance? Or were you always freelancing?

300k is nice and been there myself. Some years high some years low….but you also have consider your cost of healthcare and not getting a company match on your 401k. If you’re not smart with money it disappears fast
