Web design is not a good long term choice.
I think overall four very profitable and versatile business skills are:
- how to build something
- how to sell it
- how to manage yourself
- then how to manage a team and/or systems
If you have these four skills already and the means to back yourself then probably just skip web design.Go find a market need and build a solid valuable business around it. There is little reason to do web freelancing in this scenario unless you want some extra cash flow.
If you don't have these skills though then I think some time in web design can help build them if you take it serious for a time but also don't plan to get stuck there forever. You learn what needs to be built for other businesses, why they need it, how to sell it, and how to manage yourself, and how to get it completed.
It 100% isn't quick money and depending on how badly you need to learn the above skills it can be tough.
To know if it makes sense for a person to do web design is relative to where they are at right now. Again web design is not a good choice if you are already skilled up and ready to fully solve a big need in the market.
Of course this is my personal view point and I also teach it this way but to me this approach makes the most sense.
