Agreed, and that is shrewd thinking, though I'm not sure if it is related to gender. It may be part of it, but I think also design is a more attractive job than coding which is gross and technical, so there are more people who want to do it -> more labor supply -> lower pay.
Same thing with games, tons of people grow up playing them and want to make them -> more supply of workers -> get paid & treated like crap.
- theorique 13y agoIt is definitely a supply demand thing. Lots of people go to art/design school, and jobs are scarcer. Also, look at your average consumer/business startup - by the time you get to 10-20 coders, you might have one full-time designer. Maybe. Or a freelancer whom you bring in for a project when you need them.
