ABSTRACT
If you want to succeed as a user experience (UX) professional, you need to know about UX. But while some fields have clear-cut educational pathways—engineers get an engineering degree, lawyers get a law degree and take the bar exam—there is no one universal UX degree or qualifier, particularly not one that encompasses (or could encompass) all of the careers that fit under the umbrella of UX. Instead, you must create your own educational pathway to UX. But the upside is that it is difficult to go wrong—there are so many ways that you can get into UX.
