What major should I pursue to become a creative director?
Before I wanted to be an architect but considering threads on reddit about AI replacing it and being a dying career with low wage my family wanted me to go for data analyst but I cannot let go of designs and creativity as I like doing it and after some research I came to know about creative director , art director and product designer and among them I want to pursue creative director nevertheless , I'm stuck between what major should I pursue for creative director of perfumes ,clothes and cosmetic brands also I searched on Google on which it showed that ui/ux designers are very demanding in future and pays alot . My question is does the ui/ux designer work with designs and graphics is it easy and fun doing? how much time and experience it takes to become a creative director of fashion brands and also for ui/ux designer and what is their entry level salary and will they be demanding in the future? and what should I pursue among them ?
How to find your style?
I found out, as I had my dream internship, that I am really not the creative type. I can't formulate creative and innovative ideas. Everything seems to be benchmarked or derived from someone else's formula. I am too traditional. My eye for design is proper and pleasing to the eye. Somehow bland and strict and not sassy and popping colours or the genZ way.

Is UX a dead industry?
I know the market is awful in general right now, and that UX is much more competitive than it was just a few years ago, but is it still feasible to get entry-level work without freelancing? I majored in Computer Science and have completed a UX bootcamp, but still feel ill-prepared and insecure about joining the industry. Would getting a Master's degree help me? Is it worth it?
How can I get into an UI UX internship?
I'm UI UX Design fresher. Struggling to get an internship. I tried applying to lots of companies but some of them are been ghosted after I gave interview. And some companies don't even give a job application submission feedback. It's been 2yrs struggling to get an internship without an experience for getting an experience in UI UX Design. I don't have any connection in the UI UX Design field to refer or help me and give some insights.
Would getting a minor in CogSci as a rising senior computer science major be a good idea if I want to pivot into UI/UX design ?
It would be 5 extra classes on top of my major. I don't have any experience in CS except a research apprenticeship, but I ultimately found that I'm not super into CS as much as I thought I was. The issue is I wonder if it would be more productive to graduate with a straight CS degree and spend my free time portfolio building or tack on the extra classes (where some of them don't heavily correlate to UI/UX). I have a 4 hour commute total so my time is pretty thinly spread out. I'm not sure how much weight having a minor in CogSci would hold in terms of future opportunities. Thank you.
Hi! I'm confused between two major fields. How do i choose what to pursue?
Hi ! I am nearing the end of my degree in computer science in college and im quite confused on what path to take. I don't enjoy development but these days cybersecurity interests me however it is very technical and I'd need further specialization before i get a job in it. On the other hand, i took a ui-ux elective and i find it rather appealing. Now im confused. which path to take? what would suit me more and where would i fit in with my skillset? how do i decide that? I love solving puzzles and the mystery and allure that comes with cybersecurity yet at the same time, the humanization and creativity outlet in ui-ux is also very very appealing.

Software engineer vs. UI/UX designer?
I think I want to become a software engineer or a UI/UX designer. Is there a career that would encapsulate both these roles? Also, many engineering focused schools, such as Purdue, offers a wide range of specific majors like computer science, UI/UX design, web design, etc. I know that computer science is a really competitive major. Would majoring in UI/UX design (or another niche major) and taking courses or coding boot camps be more beneficial (in terms of getting accepted into that college and working as a software engineer or UI/UX designer later on)?
