User Experience Specialist: One of Best Careers for 2008

U.S. News & World Report has announced

31 Careers With Bright Futures for 2008, saying the careers chosen "offer strong outlooks and high job satisfaction."

Here's their two-part profile of a Usability/User Experience Specialist career:

- Executive Summary - US News and World Report

- A Day in the Life

Of course, UX and usability jobs vary a lot. The "Day in the Life" is just an example. Many UX jobs are quite different...nevertheless, I'd highly recommend UX as a career.
