Chris, Well first let's start by asking what do you think UX means, and I will tell you that you are probably both wrong and right. It is an extremely broad field which is about User eXperience. This includes the entire experience a user has with any product, be it the physical design or the interaction or the behavior, web presence, etc. As such it has a need for a multitude of backgrounds. I have been a UXer for 19 years now. But i did not start out to be a UX designer. started as Psychologist (Human Factors specialist), user testing and things like that. research into cognitive ergonomic issues. Later moved into interaction design, even before we know the word existed :). Now I am a creative director for user experience design.
So career wise seen a lot. Mail me for more questions. Kind Regards, Paul . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
