Graphic designing is easy so long as you have the innate desire and passion to become one.

Anyway, what you need most is creativity and imagination and everything will take it's natural place for you to become better. Follow your dreams and think of a way to become one, whether you go to college or not. Always remember, if there is no way, make a way. It's just a matter of perspective. Have a good day! Cheers!

Graphic design is a highly competitive field. To become a successful one (and you said you "want this because I want to earn from it") not only requires talent and imagination, but a lot of work and dedication and technical know-how. Have you had any design background (taken classes, gone to school, etc.)? Are you proficient in using any graphic programs? Like mrsuniega posted, Photoshop and Corel are graphic artists' 'best friends' and tools of the trade. If you are prepared and can persevere through the frustration, discouragement, rejection, hard work, than GO for it. You will need to go to school or take classes. The successful graphic artists hold degrees and they never stop learning. Good luck.

its very tough out there and it involves a lot of learning and habitual designs too to grasp it

Then you need to consider getting a degree. Academic settings can be inspiring and networking with others in your field is always a good thing. On top of that, many people won’t hire a graphic designer without seeing some proof that they’ve been properly trained. Consider these options: If you want a degree that will lend you credibility but don’t have much time or money, get an associate’s. This is typically a two-year degree and can be acquired at a community college or trade school. The emphasis will be more on computer skills than art theory, but it’s a good place to start. If you want a degree with some weight to it, get a bachelor’s. This is typically a four-year degree that can be acquired at a college or university. In addition to learning all the necessary computer skills, you will also be trained in art and design. To develop your style, then you need to do what you love, develop a unique style, gather interesting designs, and create a portfolio.
