Where to go from here

This week’s question comes to us from Anonymous.

I spent 25 years building a career in what people now call UX. Now it seems like every company in the tech business is shoving out experience in favor of cheaper heads. I’m sick of it all and I hate that a good career has been pulled out from under me and my fellow Internet elders. I need to earn money for a few more years, but it doesn’t have to be Bay Area rates anymore. Where do we go from here?

Be a teacher.


Got a question? Ask it!

Haven’t gotten your Design Is a Job zine yet? Get it!

BTW, speaking of teachers and zines, on a weird lark I found a rack that holds a bunch of zines in it. It’s listed it on the site because it was funny, but if you’re an educator you should hit me up. We can work something out. We’re friends.
