It all depends on your situation, your environment, your interests and
your goals.

I have, so far been able to make a decent living from purely back end
work, except in my student days when I did it all for extra cash.

I have, however, started messing around with CSS, GIMP, Inkscape and
such for my own personal projects, and it all seems pretty easy to do.
The problem of course, being that I am a code artist, not a graphic
artist, and my HID skills need some tweaking.

What I would suggest you do, is to read up on Human Interface Design and
usability rather than graphic design. Find out all about accessibility
etc, and then start. As I say, the tools are easy to master, but the
magic isn't.

If you are not interested in that, stick to PHP code. It is far less
finicky and will treat you way better IMHO.
