I did my masters. Although it depends on the market you're going into. Loads of roles are more ui oriented now and I'd say grad school is a waste of money if you're going to be pushing pixels half the time. If you want to be a researcher on the other hand, highly recommend

100% agree.

Self taught, been doing UX/design for 21 years, several awards and paid in top 90th percentile. Getting your hands dirty is more valuable than a masters program IMHO. Why take on debt when most employers will pay for it?

Can you pls guide me on how to make the switch from analytics consulting to UX design? Any particular references to do side gigs and learn through practical experience? Understand you discourage masters program, but would you suggest any courses that helped you along the journey?

4) Everyone says “get an education” but that’s impossible with high costs. Why not make tuition free of charge ?
