Here's the thing that gets me... if you've got 8+ years of experience a master's program isn't going to teach you much that you haven't already experienced in the real world. At least that's the case for the programs I've checked into. The only difference I've seen is that there are some programs that focus on physical product HCI vs. software. I see that as a lateral move at best. In my disappointment at realizing all this, I've even looked into getting an MBA. While I think this is very useful, especially as design is becoming a business strategy, I have procrastinated making it happen. I'm a designer... I'm not meant to suffer through accounting classes. Ugh. : ) (But yeah, $98k as a median is ridiculous... in Minneapolis, $98k will get you a UXP manager with 10+ years of UXP experience and maybe a few years management experience as well... of course, Minneapolis is not NYC or SF) - Fred ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
