Usability named a Best Career
This week U.S. News & World Report magazine included usability / user experience specialist on their list of 31 top careers in the United States. They do a reasonable job of explaining the position and putting it in context with a day-in-the-life feature, and they also include professional organizations and important books.
Although the article made good use of its concise column space, I think it would have been more interesting to interview actual practitioners. Without any quotes from real people the content feels artificial. Still, it's nice to get some mainstream recognition.
It does sound like a great career!
BTW, you might be interested in CommandShift3.com, which is "like Hot or Not.
Except, instead of clicking on hot babes, you click on hot websites. Can't decide, then call it a draw."
