I found my camera, I promise this will be the last garbage-quality video (until the next time I lose my camera).

Morgan I’m so happy for you and and congrats on going for your masters. I had a quick question, how have you decided how you would manage both work and a masters program? I ask this because I also want to pursue a degree in HCI, currently have a Bachelors in UX but feel like I want to get a even deeper understanding of the science behind UX that I didn’t really get much of in my undergraduate program. So I just wanted to know insights into how you will balance it so I can possibly implement that into my own workflow when i do decide to pursue it while working full-time

Love that you also want to get your masters! I am going part-time, so that is only 2 courses at a time. I will also be doing it online, and to my understanding it's pretty much self-paced (much like my bootcamp). I have had lots of conversations with my manager about getting my degree, and because it ultimately benefits my company I'm allowed to make things like studying a priority.

Thanks for all your great advice and telling the world about your journey. I'm also a recent certificate program finisher and am in the doldrums of job searching with zero UX experience. You are a beacon for people like me that wanted to transition to a new career.

That is so kind of you to say! Best of luck to you in your job search :)

Great video and congrats on all the good things! :)

[@MorganUX]

Thank you so much!

@@MorganUX Maybe future video can be about how you went about applying for graduate school with a business undergrad degree. How you'll balance it with a full time job. etc...

I love that, thank you for the suggestion!!
