'Can earn high figures' - so what are others earning? 'Mid five figures', so $50k, for a professional? In the US? That's not good anywhere.

Corporate graphic design pays exactly that amount in several Southeastern cities, and that's considered better than average. source: seen the paystubs.

> Corporate graphic design

Not sure that counts as a profession.

If graphic design doesn't count as a profession, what does?

Law, medicine, etc.

There's no professional body for corporate design is there?

Not for corporate design specifically - some graphic designers specialize in that. However, there are certainly professional bodies for graphic designers.[1]

From the Wikipedia link you provided, graphic design has achieved the first 4 milestones of being a profession:

"an occupation becomes a full-time occupation, the establishment of a training school, the establishment of a university school, the establishment of a local association".

For some reason you went off about 'what are others earning' and '50k for a professional'. You hallucinated an entirely different conversation. The person above actually talking about lawyers just said:

> many can make high five figures and low six figures. That’s good money for real life.
