Hello Hayden,
There are certain skills that will help you in any job you choose to do. You might not think of these as "skills", but they are. And, now is a great time to start building these skills.
1. Communication - In any job, you will need to communicate with other people. What that means is that you will need to be able to share information with other people or gather information from others. To do this well, it's important to know how to share and idea. You need to start off by letting people know what you want to talk about. Then, you share some information in a logical way, like telling a story. A story has a beginning, a middle and an end. That same happens at work. When you talk with people, you will be sharing a beginning, a middle, and an end. The other part of communication is listening. You need to learn to listen when other people are talking. And it's important to listen for the ideas they want to share. This will help you to add information to your brain that you can use later. The good news is, you are already learning to "tell a story" in school. I'm sure you have to write reports or essays for school. Those skills will help you in business. Also, with listening, you are probably practicing that at school and at home. So, you are already on the path to learning this one.
2. Creativity - You are already a creative person. How do I know that? Because every human is naturally creative. Some of us are more comfortable being creative than others. So, for now, build your creativity. Get comfortable with having an idea and following it through to see how it works out. Sometimes it works out as you expected. Other times, it doesn't. But, you always learn something new.
3. Teamwork- Working as a team. If you play a team sport (soccer, baseball, basketball) you already understand how to be part of a team. The same thing happens at work. A group of people come together to achieve something and everyone plays a part. You might be the expert in one area and someone else is the expert in another area. Everyone's contributions are what makes a team successful.
I hope this information helps you to prepare for what I'm sure will be a very successful future.

In interface design, some skills that can be helpful but are not strictly necessary include: 1. User psychology and behavior: Understanding how users think and behave can significantly improve the usability of an interface. 2. Basic programming knowledge: Although not essential, having knowledge of HTML, CSS or JavaScript can facilitate communication with developers and help understand technical limitations. 3. Critical thinking and problem solving: These skills are essential for identifying and solving challenges in user interface design.
