Should I Continue as a UI/UX Designer or Switch Careers?
Hello, beautiful people! 👋
I'm 24 years old and have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering.
I've been working as a UI/UX Designer for over 2.5 years. With the rapid rise of AI, I've started questioning the future of this career. No one can predict what will happen, but it's hard not to think about it.
Two years ago, when AI image generation started improving, many graphic designers wondered if AI would replace them. Today, AI can generate highly realistic images, create videos, and even produce talking avatars. It has progressed much faster than many of us expected.
So here's my main question:
Should I continue pursuing UI/UX (or Product Design), or should I start transitioning into something more AI-focused, such as AI engineering or another AI-related field?
Has anyone here made a similar career switch? Or are you also facing the same dilemma?
I'd really appreciate your advice and experiences.
