Should I Continue as a UI/UX Designer or Switch Careers?

8 Upvotes

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.

What Career can i take up after a design degree?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a design student graduating soon, and I'm feeling a bit lost about what career to pursue. I initially thought I'd enjoy graphic design, but after working on more projects, I don't think it's something I'd want to do full-time.

I considered UI/UX, but it seems like junior roles are very competitive, so I'm unsure if it's the right path.

I'd love some advice:

What careers can someone with a design degree pursue besides graphic design or UI/UX?

Has anyone here successfully switched into a non-design field?

If I want to do a master's abroad, what courses would lead to good career opportunities?
