There are more designers here than I thought. I do some freelance design when I find a project that is both interesting and well funded. I spend the rest of my time on my startup. (http://www.guestlistapp.com)

Edit: I should add that the reason its easier to find coders is because designers are typically underpaid and treated poorly. It is rare for a designer to stay a designer for more than 5 years. Certainly after 10 years most of them have moved on.

What do they generally move on to?

Mostly entirely new professions. Design agencies has a tendency to suck people dry for ideas and then discard them.

"Art Director", Project Manager or some Chief of design position.
