#3 on the six hot IT jobs list is "User Experience Designers" - so ... what is that?
"Because so many of the apps companies are developing—whether for PCs or mobile devices—are customer facing, they need user interface or user experience designers to ensure the apps are fun and intuitive to use. Robert Half anticipates starting salaries for user experience designers to rise 6.7 percent, to between $71,750 and $104,000 per year."
Designing the front end of an app takes a person with user understanding - the layout needs to be aesthetically appealing, consistent, with a minimum of user effort and designed for ease of use.
So, even for the lesser technical person, designing the graphical interface is important - and takes some different skills!!!
