Back in the 1960’s in the USA there had already existed a Professional Baseball league called Major League Baseball. In fact the MLB had been in existence since the 1800’s. By the 1960 season the MLB was made of 2 co-existing leagues made up of 7 and 8 teams each for a total of 15 teams.

This allowed approximately 40 players per team at the Major league level when you figured in a roster and players who replaced injured players. This added up to 600 MLB level players, give or take some depending on injuries. As of 2009 there are 30 teams and now 1200 players, give or take some.

The point is that in the opportunity was only attainable for those 600 or so but as time moved forward and demand for talent increased more athletes had a chance to reach the pinnacle of the sport of baseball. Not too mention that as the Major League developed the minor league system also increased in size and became organized. This all culminated in more employment opportunities for aspiring baseball players.

Looking at the practical side of the big picture we should keep in mind this reality. Even though more athletes can play at the Major League professional level than before, it is still a field, (no pun intended) that is open athletes who posses a high level of baseball skills and the work ethic to achieve at a high level.

Certainly baseball is not alone in this reality. In fact let’s talk about Internet web development and web design. For like baseball this is an area that has shown a rising stock and an increased demand for talented workers.

Turning back the clock we can indeed recall a time when there simply was not as many web sites as there are now. Naturally that meant there was not as much of a need for web designers and web development as the Internet was in its infancy years and plainly was not as inviting of a field to enter. But that quickly and steadily changed as the Internet became an integral part of society.

Clearly today the Internet is a huge part of life. Business, communication, interaction, news, entertainment, and self expression have all made their mark via the Internet and well designed web sites. All of this has made the need for more web designers and web developers increase dramatically. What does this mean for you?

The fact is that many of you may have web design or development skills. And like our baseball analogy the market is there but it does require skills and qualifications. And like athletes you need to be willing to work at learning and applying those skills.

Make no mistake about it though just take some time to do some search engine analysis. Type in any variety of topics and see how many web pages appear in any given search engine result list. Randomly investigate the sites that are reviewable. Notice the various and diverse designs across the web.

There are similarities and there are differences. There is simplicity and there is complexity. There is colorful displays and there are more generic displays. It is all a part of the web design industry and its success. And you can be a part of it. How?

Whether you get hired by a web design company or start your own you will need to be creative, professional, and reliable. The options are growing as we speak. Again you can see this for yourself.

Once again I invite you to search the Net and you will witness the growing number of web designers and web design companies out there. And don’t let this discourage you either. For it does not mean there isn’t a place for you.

Remember our example of Major League Baseball? The fact that the team rosters are filled does not scare away young up and coming athletes from making a roster. They simply try to outwork and outplay those ahead of them.

And yet there is more promise in the web design world. For the “roster” keeps growing and the opportunities are increasing. But make no mistake, you will still need to cut the mustard. Just because there are more and more chances to break into the design field doesn’t mean you will. But it definitely means you can if you do your part.

Yes the stock is up in the web design business and it is now your turn to do the preparation and work. You can be among the next crop of web designers putting their thumb print on the web design world!
