Man, I am at the early stages of making this leap to a new career. At the moment, I am just going to learn as much as I can and continue to watch your videos. Very informative and I am going to try and take the path you took, learn as I go! Thank you!

@@crlscmrtnz it’s been 1 year since you commented it. How did it go?

[@Nischhal]

I still don't know why your channel is so underrated, your channel information is so relatable to my own UX Carrier build-up.

[@scandalousbeauty]

Awesome practical advice. This validated a lot for me. I've been doing a lot of self-studying, but I need to just dive in. Thanks!!

[@zerotoux]

Yaaas!! You'll kill it!

[@SoIntoFood]

Hi Kevin. I've searched and searched for UX research courses or articles at most. I'm transitioning from customer experience to user experience. Going through Your channel is helping with clarity. I just want to binge. Great job. I'd ask questions as I watch. Well done

[@Corlando5]

Great tips! Networking and shadowing are definitely my favorites and I love the idea of testing out studies on friends! Thanks for sharing!

[@saltybaelv]

OMG. I’ve watched SO many videos for some real ass insight and you have cleared the fog! You’re dope, thank you so much for this video.

[@zerotoux]

LOL Real ass insights ftw!! Thanks for watching, Chelsea!

[@GazingPandah]

Very practical tips!

[@davido.andersen1792]

Great tips man - and love that you're showing how you can take multiple paths to get into UX - a college degree isn't the only way!

[@DariaMaslovaHappy]

Inspiring!!!! Thank you! I would read google researches and take coursera course.

[@zerotoux]

Awesome! Let me know what kinds of interesting things you learn!

[@simonenorman3660]

I need to watch the decepticon one again.

[@OscarLopez-dc3sg]

Good information and useful tips. I'm currently learning research methods. Now it's up to me to just jump into it!

[@evergreenerin]

Pure gold. Thank you Kevinnnnnnn 😍

Thanks for watching, Erin!!! 😻🥳🎉🤩

[@joyyerabutar5605]

You are amazing. Thank you so much!

[@omnagupta]

Really liked the psychology angle

It is definitely helpful Kevin, thanks :)

[@himanipatel2681]

I also have a Biology degree. Your videos are very helpful. I am starting a bootcamp soon. Very nervous and excited to dive into the UX world!

[@mounikareddy8417]

@himanpatel2681 and now are u in that field?

[@angelnewball5615]

Ok so I literally watched all your videos last night. Thank you for being so open and helpful. I have an Associates in Anthropology and really want to get into the UXR world, but I had no idea which route to go. Your videos are so informative and I def want to start creating a portfolio, but I'm not sure which route I should take for school. Any ideas? All the terms and methodologies that you have mentioned are def Anthropologically derived. It's crazy how UX researcher is not heavily emphasised in Anthropology. We learn about ethnography, surveying, and must do multiple research designs in our cooperatives.

[@zerotoux]

Thank you! If you're still in school an internship is the best way to get your foot in the door. As for a portfolio, you could showcase some anthro projects, but I also encourage you to find some UX problem and design a research plan to solve it! I'm working on a series of videos to create a UX project from start to finish, stay tuned :)

[@mcmusgro]

There are definitely many anthropologists that have done great things in UX research. There is a whole related conference named EPIC--Ethnographic Praxis in Industry Community and people like Genevieve Bell (formerly at Intel) and Alexandra Mack are among superstars. University of North Texas has an applied anthropology program at masters level but their undergraduates can also take their design anthropology class.

[@angelnewball5615]

@@mcmusgro Thank you for the information! I'll def look into the program at the University of North Texas especially since I'm in Austin.

[@angelnewball5615]

@@zerotoux Oooh a start to finish summary would be awesome. Thank you so much again for being so helpful through your videos.

[@abdulo2020]

@@zerotoux Hello Kevin. I just came across your videos. Please, have you done the UX project video series (start to finish) as mentioned here? I did love to see those. Thanks

[@edwinicq]

Very useful

[@arielleb2053]

What is the difference between a UX designer and UX researcher? I am coming from an hr/recruiting background. Which would provide best leeway for me to transition into a UX role?

[@anicorless]

I feel as though I get mixed signals out there whether someone without a degree at all has a chance. Do you think someone without a degree of any kind can still get an interview at the end of the day?

[@zerotoux]

If you don't have a Bachelor's, it's really difficult to be taken seriously as a UX Research candidate IF you don't have industry experience. BUT not impossible. One of my masterclass grads did it without a degree. But she had been working in industry for more than a decade. So she got experience as a project manager, corporate trainer, and weaved herself into a UX apprenticeship program through lots of hustle and networking. She's now a UX apprentice at her company. I also had an alum with a dance/acting background. She worked as a front desk admin, but volunteered with her UX team. Eventually one opportunity led to another and now she's a UXR at Meta/Facebook. So yes, it can be done. I hope those anecdotes can inspire you to do the same.

[@anicorless]

@@zerotoux Thank you. I am switching careers after having a dog grooming business for years and years in NYC. I have some business and life experience! I will look into your masterclass!

As an international student which bootcamp is best for me?What is the cost?Can i get financial aid to join the bootcamp?

[@deborah8146]

What is a good background job for ux research?

[@zerotoux]

Anything research, consulting, or any kind of problem solving! There's no one route :) Everybody comes from different backgrounds, like design, English, sociology, psychology, biology (me), product management, marketing etc...

[@nimrahahmed4403]

This is one of the best videos I've watched. So real. Resonated so well with my situation. Connect with me through LinkedIn please. I would like to receive more guidance from you. Thanks!

That background music is boring. Have something different or don't have background music.
