This Journey quite resonates with me - Meshing Art & Science - coming from media studies, Communication Science, and sociology, doing consultancy to learn and grasp the angles for applying your academic skill set to the industry.
I’m in QA now, I loved sociology and have a bachelors in it, but never wanted to be a professor, tech has always been something I wanted to be a part of, so it’s awesome to stumble onto this video.
Great video! The only thing I would say is, yes, you can study user experience research. It is a degree in User Experience or Human-Computer Interaction Design (bachelor's or master's).
I'm really happy I found this video. I just graduated in comm studies and trying to get into tech. I've always wanted to understand what UX researchers do
Damn she sounds like me. I was a biology major planning to go into maybe vet school. However, surgery scares me and I'm bad at math and biology and I'm also on my junior year and I am thinking communications because ux interest me because psychology is very interesting., but communications is more useful and flexible.
Hi, just wanted to check if it's possible to be UX researcher with industry experience only? I completed my collage 2 years back. I have done B. A & M. A. In Chinese language & literature. Presently i'm having experience of 2 year experience in consumer research (mobile brand). I am passionate about mobile & technology related to mobile. How can i take it further? Is there any course which might help me?
She has probably given the best career advice i've heard so far from anyone on youtube. I am a UX researcher right now and it is spot on!
Are you working at Google now?
Thank you so much, I have been told this career might be a good fit for me, which you have convinced me is correct!

Loved the fact that she is so honest. And that is what matters. Accepting your downsides and improving every day. Cheers!

I am not naturally good at math and stats, glad to see this video.

This is extremely valuable advice. Thanks a lot for this video!
I like the story too:) i am bio major also but i am very nervous of the heavy course load😭
very genuine
U of Idaho has a cool online Human Factors MS program that sets people up well for UX Research.
Thank youu!!
It is misleading for her to say that there is no major for UX research. UX research programs are all over in universities.
Would an emphasis on Behavioral or Social psychology be a boon to a UX researcher?
Yess
I can't move to California so this video might not help me an anthropology major.
Just wanted to mention you don’t have to move to California. You can also find opportunities in other tech hub cities.

There are "Bootcamps" in person or online
Why does she sound so nervous ? Introvert?
Yesss in part 1, she already said that she was introverted nerd
