  • "For several years now, I've been encountering 23-year old kids with certificates from UX/graphic design/web development bootcamps who are expecting to be awarded senior titles and salaries that everyone else has worked 5–10 years to attain. They say "our instructors told us we would graduate as fully-qualified [insert title here]s." Some of these courses are well-respected but by no means a replacement for a deep commitment to learning a discipline - and then, even if you went to the best school... you're still entry-level! There's also a proliferation of corporate-funded, fee-for-diploma schools, staffed mostly by people who have only been out of school for a few years themselves, contributing to an overall sense that with a little work (and I do mean a little) you should be entitled to whatever your heart desires. Google seems to be tapping into this and (probably) using their enormous capital to corner the market in low-involvement education. Scoop the cream-of-the-crop designers from their classes, if and when they appear, and dump the rest into the market to flood the inboxes of creative directors everywhere."
