Perhaps there's a role for IxDA here and a way to fund its (and our professions) future growth. Something like the 'the deck' but for IxDA jobs? Perhaps this is a tender first step towards tackling broader issues and developing the institutional definitions and broadly accepted standards for what an IxDA designer is. I'll apologize in advance for re-opening that can of worms too. :)

I'd like to reiterate Dave's earlier point of a distinct lack in career path. Fresh out of college, the only two companies in California I found that were willing to hire junior IxD's were Google and Intuit. Most other job postings had steep requirements in terms of experience and degrees. It's a shame that so few are willing to train younger designers from the start. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
