I have a Bachelor’s in Sociology and about 10 years of experience in human services/education-type roles involving interviewing people, behavior tracking, writing reports, and working directly with families/students.

Lately I’ve been looking into User Experience Research, especially qualitative research, and I’m curious how realistic the transition is without getting a Master’s degree
Has anyone here made a similar switch from a non-tech background? Are the skills actually transferable, or is breaking into UX research much harder than it seems right now?
