My boyfriend and I are thinking of relocating from Flint MI to Minneapolis this October. We are both graphic designers in our mid 20’s, and would like to stay in that field if possible. 2 questions.
1. I’ve heard Minneapolis is a great place for those interested in the graphic design/advertising industry, but this scares us a bit that it’s like LA for actors trying to make it and ending up waiting tables forever. Basically, is the market FLOODED with designers looking for work, or are there plenty of jobs to go around?
2. We’re planning on living downtown if we can, but how is getting around in the winters? We’re coming from Michigan, so we’re used to snow, but just HOW much snow are we talking about? Will we be hard pressed to unearth ourselves enough to go hit the bars or galleries on the weekends?
Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
