Should I pursue UX-UI in 2024?
I got my bachelor's in Graphic Design, a Diploma in Interior Design, and I'm so in love with UX-UI. Plus I can't get a good job in Interior design industry as the market is not good right now for beginners.

I don't know how is the market right now for UX-UI and ( considering the horrible job market, the future of the UX-UI specially with the impact of AI etc.) I can't decide. I need your opinion on this. should I do it? if yes, Is it okay to go for a diploma?

Unfortunately the market is saturated with UX/UI designers. Right now even folks with years if experience are struggling to land roles. If ot was me, I’d steer my design passion in a different direction until the market settles.
