Overview: A strong desire to stand out creatively is an important trait to possess in the field of web design. The demand for web designers is rapidly increasing with other computer-based professions, so now is a perfect time to get involved.

Role: Web designers specialize in creating graphics, formats, and products for the Internet and World Wide Web. This type of work may be done on an independent, per assignment basis or on a larger contractual level with a company or firm. Attention to detail is important as is a fresh approach for creative purposes.

Qualifications: While creativity and originality are key, an Associate's or Bachelor's degree will be necessary to get started. As demand for these jobs escalates and competition becomes greater, the importance of earning a degree will be highly evident.
