Yes, but flipping burgers pays better.

"HTML alone" as a job will pay you just above minimum wage. If you
have Jukka's skill level at "HTML alone", then you'll maybe make an
extra dollar. The myth persists that HTML is a low-end skill, and
(more harmfully) that it's only worth understanding as a low-end
skill. As a result, even serious knowledge of it goes unrewarded. A
large part of this is due to a market that can't distinguish between
HTML, Dreamweaver and Photoshop.

If you want to make money from web design, your options are either a
much better rewarded platform than HTML (Flash or COBOL-like suitware)
or else to become a "web design bureau" rather than merely an
employee. You can make money from selling web design services to
customers, but not by being an employee web designer.
