If everyone is doing it badly, maybe a few people doing it very goodly won't
get paid that badly after all.
And what's all this "you're just fine tuning other peoples stuff" nonsense? As
most designers know, the difference between good design and bad design (in
visual media anyway) is not content, but layout. Literraly the position of
the copy (or graphic) on the page (or screen). As you said, any idiot (even
me!) can produce multimedia with some basic tools, but it takes someone with
outstanding design skills to produce outstanding multimedia. And that person
will be paid very well for their talents.
I think a degree which mixes design discipline with computing skills would be
valuable indeed.
