Why bother with a Masters in UX Design when you can just learn on the job? Experience trumps a fancy degree any day. Save yourself the time and money, folks!

Learning on the job is valuable, but a Masters in UX Design can provide in-depth knowledge, specialized skills, and networking opportunities that could accelerate your career growth. Its all about finding the right balance between experience and education.

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?
