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 do I build a graphic design portfolio that stands out when applying for my first job after graduation?
Hi! I'm a college sophomore majoring in graphic design with an expected graduation date of 2029. I've been making art my whole life across many different mediums, and I'm proficient in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. My goal is to enter the design industry after graduation, but I don't have much professional experience yet and I'm unsure what employers are actually looking for in an entry-level portfolio; whether that's passion projects, a specific style, a range of skills, or something else entirely. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you! 🙏 #Spring26
How do you keep up with tech + AI moving so fast?
How do you keep up with the pace of change in tech, especially with AI reshaping jobs and expectations? How do I stay 'relevant' ? Things I learned at school might already be outdated ? It's challenging to stay optimistic about the future ... What skills or mindset have actually mattered most long-term? Every single day new AI tools or terms emerge, it's anxiety-inducing and overwhelming to be honest. I do enjoy learning new things but it's impossible to pick up new things at such rapid speed Would love to hear advice from all industries ! Appreciate your time and insights !!
How do you typically test or study user behavior in a professional setting to decide if a creative design is actually working for the audience?
Based on my results from MyFutureAZ, the career that I found most interesting is a Web Developer. This field interests me because it combines logical problem solving with visual creativity, allowing me to build functional and artistic digital products. It relates directly to my hobby of creating custom graphics and experimenting with HTML CSS to bring those visuals to life in a source. Specifically, I dream of building interactive, art focused websites that out users in a unique, visual experience. I am particularly interested in user behavior because I want to understand how design choices influence a visitor's journey through a site. Bridging the gap between aesthetic appeal and functional user experience is my primary goal as I move toward this career.

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.
