Jobs on the horizen?

So the last blog post I'm doing to for my web design class is.... JOBS! The all important money making thing you need to survive in this world. So from the AIGA 2010 post, wed designers for this mid-west area is around $40,000. Now that would be amazing starting out, but there's no guarantee that that is what you would get as an entry level web designer. You're probably looking at needing a decent amount of experience, plus some more experience in graphic design as well. The more you know, the better you look to companies in this area. Basically if you can be a graphic designer, web designer, art director, photographer, IT guy, marketing director, and you can make an amazing cup of coffee, you can get a job here. Some places we could look for jobs, but I won't guarantee they're hiring is Kitch and Schreiber, DBD, and...possible some others, but I'm not having much luck with google. Point to, I guess, remember is...this area is not optimal for a designers job market.
