Genuine question from new designer
This might be a really silly question, maybe relatable.
Context: I’m a recent mechanical engineering graduate and will be going to graduate school for a Masters in Human-Computer Interaction. I want to become a Product/UX Designer. People are now asking me since recently graduating “Do you have a job lined up?”, then followed by me saying no and saying I’m continuing education. This leads to the question of what I’m studying, which sometimes I don’t know how to respond. My brain kicks into the mode of will they understand and how can I make it simple for them to.
That being said, how do product/ux designers explain their career without making it complicated? Or maybe I’m overthinking this?
