I am considering taking a concentrated study course in Graphic Design in New York. Up until now I have been a fine artist but with the economy and brick-and-mortar galleries closing in the droves I need to find a more stable income for my family.

I picked up a magazine with an ad from Shillington School that offers an intense concentrated course in design theory and use of Adobe Creative Suite.

My question is twofold:

1. Is there a job market for Graphic Designers?
2. If anyone has heard of this program or school what was your opinion?

The jellies here at Fluther have never steered me wrong- once again thanks for any advice you can offer.
