Can I follow product design successfully with ease after taking Biology instead of maths because that's what I'm interested in ?
How do I follow a path of product design by taking PCB and a seperate design course. I have no interest in maths even though my dad says it's almost compulsory. I was unable to do maths since a low grade. Biology has always been a strong subject. But can one pursue design by choosing it? If yes, what is the success rate? Currently in class 11 pursuing design.
Electrical Engineering and digital nomad friendly jobs?
Hello. I am currently on my third gap year. Which I am very ashamed of but unfortunately I had health issues. I applied to Architecture but if I don’t get in I must have a plan B since Architecture is limited number. I’d like to do a fully remote job in the future because I want to live in Thailand. My main passion is Architecture but if I don’t get in I am thinking about Industrial Design or Electrical Engineering. I am thinking more about Electrical Engineering because I enjoy physics but my main worry is that it’s not digital nomad friendly. I also like Industrial Design because i’d like to get creative as well but I am scared that I will be unemployed though it’s the most remote friendly because of UX design etc. What should I do? I will be 22 this year and I want a safe path that wont force me to get another bachelor or master’s degree. I studied Computer Science for a few months but I hated coding though it was the most remotely friendly. Is it possible to get entry level jobs completely remotely with Electrical Engineering degree? I live in the Netherlands but I am not dutch
Is my app idea worth it/needed?
I am considering building an "all-in-one life app" that has multiple different features and is basically a collection of different apps combined into one, and it's very collaborative, interactive, and connects with different apps. Kind of like Notion. I was wondering if this kind of app is really needed or original. Be honest.

Is a Bachelor's in Psychology a good start to becoming a UX/UI Designer?

How necessary is it to get a college degree for web development or UI/UX design?
I am a current high school senior considering whether or not I want to dedicate four year’s time and go into debt for a bachelor’s degree in computer science with a minor in design. I am hoping to get online certificates and take online courses instead as I’ve heard the computer science/design fields hire mostly based on experience and portfolio rather than education. If I were to not attend college, what are my chances of obtaining a good job as a web developer or UI/UX designer? Would it take forever for me to find a job in these fields without a degree? #design #computer #technology #computer-science #uxdesign #uidesign #user-experience #graphic-design #technology #web-development
Is UX design a oversatuarated industry to choose?
Hi! I am a new master graduate in chemical engineering, living in Canada. I'm also a international student. However, I almost have no interest in this field and due to covid-19, most of the oil companies are laying off people rather hiring. This makes me to change my career. I'm interested in design all the time and I want to be a UX designer. However, when I was doing my research, I saw one comments in a youtube video, which says, "UX Design is a highly sought-after career that literally anyone without a degree can get into. This creates a highly saturated market that makes it literally impossible to get into because there is always someone with "a little bit more experience." UX design is necessary, but it is also a trendy career prospect that brings in any type of applicant. It's a slippery slope. UX boot camps are creating an additionally large influx of UX want-to-bes and are only exacerbating this issue. UX boot camps are there to milk the UX education cash cow and are not concerned with graduates painfully struggling to find first-time jobs in a market that is already oversaturated." Now I'm worried. I don't want to waste one year to learn and then struggled in the same state as I'm today---NO JOB IN MARKET. Can you get me some your advice? Or where should I get the most realsitic facts about the market? As a beginner, I don't know what kind of opinion should I believe since I know nothing about it. Thank you so much for your answer. Your opinons are important to me. #UXdesign #design #technology #career

What to study for a potential career in either marketing or UX design?
I'm already a psychology major and 1.5 years into my program. My program requires me to declare a minor and I'm currently torn between economics and design (specifically web design/development) and these are probably the only paths I can godown if I want to graduate on time. Whilst I know that economics is the "safer" option and is generally considered better for job prospects, I feel that design teaches more hard skills and is probably more practical whereas economics is really just theory. Any advice? #art #design #career-choice #programs #technology #marketing #UX #UXdesign
