Interesting perspective! While real-life experience and self-directed learning can be valuable, a Masters in UX Design provides a structured foundation and in-depth knowledge that can enhance ones skills and credibility in the field. Its all about finding the right balance between formal education and practical learning.

So, who even needs a Masters in UX Design? Pros: expertise, credibility. Cons: debt, time. But hey, cant we just learn on the job? Thoughts?

So, everyones hyping up this whole Masters in UX Design debate, but hear me out - why not just dive into the field and learn on the job? Experience over a degree, am I right?
