What other skills besides creativity do graphic designers need to succeed?

Other than problem-solving skills and understanding of Adobe programs, what other skills do graphic designers use on a day to day basis? How are ideas and thoughts effectively communicated to clients and how do you stand out in networking events? Thank you in advance!! #Spring26

Is being a Graphic Designer a good job for me?

I asked what some good colleges are earlier, but I just thought, is being a graphic designer a good fit for me? I have ADHD and atisum, and I love art I've always hated math, and I'm a good problem solver but I have a hard time doing somthing I say I'm ging to do not like I lie but like "I'm going to get this done before the end of this period!" 2 days later "I'm half way there!" I just can't stay focused! And I do know what college I'd go to if I were to become a graphic designer, but I also want to be a teacher!

What are specific actions and/or skills to acquire that could make getting a job as a graphic designer easier post college graduation?

I am currently a 17 year old high school senior whom is about to graduate by the end of May. I am very passionate about Graphic Design and want to continue with it after high school, however I am concerned whether I will stand out enough to employers to find a job after college. I have been certified in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Premiere Pro and have been a part of my school's video production team for the last 2 years as well as communications club for all 4 years.

What do I need to do to become a successful digital artist?

I am currently in a position where I can not go to college, because of an undiagnosed learning disability. I also have some physical disabilities that limit my mobility, and keep me bedridden most of the day. I on the other hand am very confident in my ability to develop my artistic skills. I am teaching myself blender, from modeling to animation. I have done some graphic design projects, and I am good at digital art in general. I need to learn how to market my skills when I don't have a piece of paper that says I am good at something, nor official job experience.
