"In our training institutions, we don't have an equivalent notion to resident rotation, where those new to the field get to experience the entire thing, then choose their specialty."
That may be true; I didn't go to school for UX. But I'd argue that start-ups provide this type of skills rotation. I've worked at more than one small company where I've been, as needed: UI designer, usability specialist, webmaster, tech writer, trainer, graphic designer, project manager, front-end coder, QA, marketing copywriter, and sales engineer. I'd never have gotten all that experience in a large company or as a solo contractor. So maybe a stint in a start-up how to move from compartmentalist to specialist. ;-) ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
