She has probably given the best career advice i've heard so far from anyone on youtube. I am a UX researcher right now and it is spot on!

Thank you so much, I have been told this career might be a good fit for me, which you have convinced me is correct!

This Journey quite resonates with me - Meshing Art & Science - coming from media studies, Communication Science, and sociology, doing consultancy to learn and grasp the angles for applying your academic skill set to the industry.

Loved the fact that she is so honest. And that is what matters. Accepting your downsides and improving every day. Cheers!

I’m in QA now, I loved sociology and have a bachelors in it, but never wanted to be a professor, tech has always been something I wanted to be a part of, so it’s awesome to stumble onto this video.

Great video! The only thing I would say is, yes, you can study user experience research. It is a degree in User Experience or Human-Computer Interaction Design (bachelor's or master's).

Damn she sounds like me. I was a biology major planning to go into maybe vet school. However, surgery scares me and I'm bad at math and biology and I'm also on my junior year and I am thinking communications because ux interest me because psychology is very interesting., but communications is more useful and flexible.

Would an emphasis on Behavioral or Social psychology be a boon to a UX researcher?

Hi, just wanted to check if it's possible to be UX researcher with industry experience only? I completed my collage 2 years back. I have done B. A & M. A. In Chinese language & literature. Presently i'm having experience of 2 year experience in consumer research (mobile brand). I am passionate about mobile & technology related to mobile. How can i take it further? Is there any course which might help me?
