Even a one-armed monkey can be a filthy-rich graphic designer
By Brent Dixon on April 04, 2006
At the risk of losing my job to everyone else with an index finger, I thought I should share a hilarious infomercial-style site I came across the other day. It’s definitely a new kind of get-rich-quick scheme.
I’ll let the sales letter do its own talking:
“If You Can Point And Click With A Mouse, You Can Make $100,000 A Year Or More As A Desktop Graphic Designer!”
It’s important to point out that this site doesn’t think that it’s joking. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to get a manservant…because I can. I just found out I’m loaded. More from the letter after the jump.
“You don‚Äôt even have to be able to draw a straight line ‚Äî the computer does everything for you.
You can work from home, set your own hours, and have every job be different and challenging.
I make a six-figure income even raising three children at home!
Read this letter and see if this career suits you, too. If it does, we might even give you your first job‚Ķ”
Thanks to Design Observer for pointing this one out.

I wasn’t committed enough to read the entire pitch on “The Designer’s Life”, but I must say – the graphic design on the site speaks volumes!
I wonder what she charges per hour?

We tried to get in touch with her to redesign our site, but she’s currently on vacation in the Nicobar Islands until Q2 2009.

This is a good idea.
