Which marketing field has a better opportunity for career advancement into SEO: copywriting or digital design?

HELP! My goal is to eventually move towards SEO and digital data management. It seems like there are a lot of different avenues to get there, but no one seems certain which route would give the best exposure and marketability for these fields. Any input from someone in the industry would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Copywriting has the biggest earning potential for those at the top, but it does require some unique skills. SEO depends on the mood of the search engines, which are trying to reduce the effectiveness of manipulation techniques, a long tern SEO career may be questionable.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid ("organic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search,news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.

Copy writing and marketing is a great area to start off. They can both complement each other as well.
