Very intellectual video. I am a UxUi Designer with 4 years of experience and I base In Nigeria and I’ll say UXUI is not going down any time soon. For newbies you have to learn at a fast pace and stand out from other designers and put God first . Very important. Once you’re able to do that . The sky is your limit.🎉

Thank you for this! I am getting my bachelors in Computer Science but I have a growing interest in UX. I am currently really debating if I should start leaning to more of UX than software engineering because I believe I will have more fulfillment and be more passionate about.

Hi Samuel. I came across your videos just last week. And I am glad I did. You convey your messages clearly and they are so relatable. Thanks for all the insights you give.

Thank you for making this video, due to mental health, i couldn't finish my software engineer apprenticeship and i saw ux design seemed to suit me more but i kept seeing people saying no no no and not sustainable. I will try again learning this again, God bless Samuel ❤

10 years as a UX designer, I agree with your talking points. Especially AI is laying off designers. Keep up with the good work!

Industrial Engineering is similar to Manfacturing Engineering, so it great how you highlighted the connection of UX design w/ early manufacturers like Ford. Great video!!!!

Thank you, I'm want to start learning UX design because I'm emmigrating and I need some chance hahaha. And Since I have a background in art I though this could be a good/easier move for me. Thank you for such a comprehensive video!

Thank you for such honest and unbiased video 🙏 I am planning to change my career, and I was thinking about UX UI design for some time. However, some videos and opinions demotivated me a lot. I was hesitant. Your video helped me to put everything on track and start to learn what I aspire.
