It depends on where you live. Designers in New York make as much as the developer. Especially if you can actually do a bit of the technical stuff yourself. Front end designer/programmer hybrids are very highly paid. Likewise with iOS. Having a design background can be a more flexible career as you can go work in fashion/media/publishing. It's also a lot easier to pick up contract work with definite endpoints.
