Sabotage

I was today years old when i found out that, back before the Seventies, every high school taught a skilled craft. Like, you could learn to be an electrician, plumber, mason, or some thing along those lines, in public school, and come out with four years worth of experience in that craft. Trade school wasn't a separate thing and all high schools were basically Job Corp minus the sleepover. You'd be able to graduate high school and walk into an industry with immediate need, making good to great money, and you could still go to college afterward for a degree in a non-skilled area for cheap. Take being a Lawyer versus and Electrician. One would think that career in law would be the more lucrative of the the two options, but you'd be wrong. The pay be tween the to careers is pretty comparable, especially when you take into account the level of experience necessary to advance to the highest positions in wither industry; Senior Partner and Master Electrician. The journey of the lawyer is as follows; Four years of college, three years of Law School, however long it takes to pass the bar which could take YEARS, finding an actual position in a saturated market, five to seven years of grunt work and doing the “pick me” dance until you make Junior Partner, then and another ten to fifteen to make Senior. That is two decades of work to reach the top of your industry, not counting however many times it took to pass the Bar. Now, let's look at the Electrician. In order to be a Master Electrician, you need eight years or sixteen thousand hours of experience in your field, half of which must be earned as a licensed Journeyman. How does one become a licensed Journeyman? You will need to complete at least seven hundred and twenty hours of electrician instruction from an approved trade school/apprenticeship program that combines hands-on training with classroom instruction. Basically, you go to Trade School for two years and you're good. Technically, less, because all the caps I've seen are for, at most, fourteen months. And that sh*t counts toward your Master status. Its wild because, starting pay for Journeyman Electrician is between sixty-five and seventy-eight grand while the Lawyer starts between sixty and one hundred and seventy grand. But you have take into account all the variables.

It's going to take you at least seven years to even get your foot into the door of a law firm and that's if you pass the Bar on your very first attempt. Guess who is a year out from sitting at the top of his industry while you literally just begin your journey? That Electrician! You see, while you were paying hundreds of thousands of dollars chasing that Lawyership, mans was in the trenches, earning them hours, building his rep, developing relationships with clients and owners. By the time you're starting your lawyer gig, he's already capping out his career. You're going to be making that median eighty grand, while mans is going to be starting at ninety-four because he earned that Master status and is staring his Senior journey; A rate that will only increase exponentially because he's got that actual experience. How much loot do you think he can earn in the next fifteen years while you scrape and scramble for Partner? And that's just his personal wage. He can take that skill anywhere in the country, without having to pass a different bar for each State. More than that, he can open his own business, sign a dumb seductive contract wit the government or state,even  freelance all he wants, and still have a safety net if none of that works out, because his industry is in stupid high demand. There is a literal shortage of electricians and skilled labor in general. There is a saturation of Lawyers. Supply and Demand dictates an electrician will never make entry level wage while a lawyer will ALWAYS make those starting duckets. All of this is taking into account that said electrician went to Trade School before his apprenticeship. Now imagine if dude got those Journeyman hours in high school because it was already a part of the curriculum. Way back when, you effectively got a trade school education, as a fifth period elective course. In today's loot standard, that means you'd walk the stage to get a diploma, with the experience to saunter right into an electrician job starting at seventy grand. At seventeen or eighteen years old. Bro, what the f*ck? Why the f*ck did we stop doing that??

That was a rhetorical question. Of course I know why we stopped. Too much power. Imagine having a highly sought skill, within an industry that is always in demand? How does a Capitalist take advantage of your labor if you, yourself, refuse to sell your life away to a capitalist industry? I know why we stopped teaching that sh*t. I know exactly what happened. Neoliberalism happened. Reaganomics happened. Union busting happened. Schools were defunded. Banks were deregulated. The great wealth heist began. Because working with your hands, earning a honest wage compensatory to your labor, won't earn those Billionaires a red cent. Being a fresh eighteen, with no debts, and earning the same wage, if not more, as a random twenty-five year old saddled with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of college debt, allots you a freedom these motherf*ckers at the top don't want you to have. In order for this unfettered capitalism bullsh*t to work, the worker needs to be dependent and disillusioned. They need to be desperate. They need to keep you in despair, soiling in abject fear of destitute, so they can squeeze your life away an hourly wage at a time. Walking out of high school with Journeyman levels of experience made you impervious to that bullsh*t. It removed yo from this sh*tty system and put the power to decide for yourself, back into your hands. That's why this sh*t went away right around the time sh*t got unfettered. That's why these motherf*ckers push college on you so hard and belittle trade school. They need you to play your part as cog to keep this machine well oiled because, at twenty-six, you'd be able to set your own price and wouldn't be beholden to anyone. That cat looking to be a lawyer, though He still got a decade of toil before anyone even looks his way.

Bro, the more I learn about what the US looked like when my parents were kids, the more hot I get. I literally just want the same opportunities they had. Nothing more, nothing less. Motherf*ckers were all hippies and counterculture and free love, but the second they got their hands on the wheel, they steered us into a f*cking wall and then changed the goddamn rules so no one could have it as good as they did, ever again.

The battle for design titles

Are you a UX/UI/Product/Interaction/Full-Stack/Visual/Digital Designer and how would you know?

There’s a hot debate happening on the web right now regarding Design titles. Some say we should stop saying “UX/UI Designer” — whether or not you agree with this sentiment, there’s no real downside to positioning yourself this way. Over the last decade, I’ve seen this title and many others pop up. I think it’s because there’s no one true way to describe what we do since many of us wear many, many hats. This influx of ad-hoc titles has caused some confusion to say the least, but is it a bad thing?

In the real world, I’ve seen:

“Product and Interaction Designer”

“UX/UI Designer”

“UI/UX Designer

“Product/UX Designer”

“Experience Designer”

“Interdisciplinary Designer”

and many, many more.

“So what am I?”

Well, it depends…(classic Designer answer)

I myself have held official company titles of “UI/UX Designer” at several organizations at levels from Junior to Senior. I’m not sure “Interaction Designer” would have encompassed what I was really responsible for. I’m still not sure it does.

Here’s a practical approach to understanding titles:

If you spend more time on user research, journey mapping, IA, and little to none on interface, interaction, or visual design, then you may be a UX Designer. If you spend equal time in user research, wire-framing, prototyping, and interface design/interaction design then you may be either a UX/UI Designer or Product Designer. With this said, there can be a major amount of overlap and that is what creates the confusion.

Pop Quiz

At my current organization I generally focus my time on research, wire-framing, prototyping, user testing, low to high fidelity mockups, UX strategy, product strategy, design documentation, contributions to the design system, writing product and user requirements, and work directly with product and engineering teams to create and build solutions.

What am I?

If you answered “UX Designer” you might be incorrect.

Why? Because my official company title is (Senior) Interaction Designer.

“But Kasey, you mentioned several UX practices”

Yes, I did and this is why I consider myself a Product Designer. I’m the full-stack, unicorn-whatever, Designer. I work directly with Product and Development (Engineering) to strategize, create, and implement the best solutions possible.

Truth is, “UX” is just a part of the overall process of building products.

From the other side…

I know it’s a lot to consider and there’s even more on the other side!

This being the client or company side of the coin and there’s a chance they don’t really know or understand what they truly need so this tends to lead to furthering the confusion and frustration.

Imagine this: You’ve applied to a UI/UX Designer role and you get into the first interview and from asking some basic questions you begin to uncover the client (or company) actually needs a UI Developer. No matter how you look at that those are two very different things. True story. There’s a solid chance this has happened or will happen to you. That’s on them. It’s on you to kindly, and professionally, inform them of what their needs truly require.

Segmentation matters especially for the hiring manager, even if it’s f*cking confusing. From a hiring manager standpoint, and speaking with others* on this topic, we’re mostly responsible for creating these titles and the confusion around them.

Let’s try to demystify this a bit then.

Hiring managers:

If you make the title/job description (JD) too ambiguous you could potentially cast a wider net than intended, bringing in the Jack-of-all-trade types who aren't the experts in what you need most. Then those Jacks might get bored or uninspired doing one or a few (very specific) things.

On the flip side, if you make the JD too specific or descriptive, you could potentially limit your talent pool and end up with hyper specialists, when you needed a wide range of skills and someone to float the spectrum.

Segmentation is quite an art form and should be handled with care. You may want to capture the largest amount possible of specifically skilled candidates for a specific use case or need, but not too restrictive that limits the periphery of skills needed to be an effective and impactful Designer in your organization.

At the end of the day you want to build the best team possible, right? This takes effort, dedication, and attention to detail. A good team includes generalists and specialists, and you may end up with hybrid roles utilizing titles like “UX/UI Designer,” “Product Designer,” “Interaction Designer,” “Visual Designer” to fill the gaps.

Potential Design Nomenclature:

(In no way are these in order of importance)

UX: Prioritize user research, strategy, journey mapping, wire-framing, prototyping, user testing, might do bits of interface and interaction design, dev implementation

UI: Interface layout, components, visual design, site architecture, interaction design, design systems, dev implementation

Visual: Mix of brand strategy, color theory, visual hierarchy and layout, typography, design systems, interface design, marketing efforts

Interaction: Bits of research, mix of strategy, wire-framing, prototyping, user testing, design systems, interface design, dev implementation

Product: Mix of user research, strategy, product management (PRD), wire-framing, prototyping, user testing, design systems, interface and interaction design, dev implementation

Note: ALL of these^ have a direct affect on the “user’s experience” and might/probably include some aspect of dev implementation. I also may have left out some responsibilities on accident — don’t judge me.

There are general “umbrella” terms and there are specialties with a TON of overlap. It can be confusing at times but what you can do is estimate your contributions and go from there.

To be safe: If you’re a UX generalist with sweet, sweet UI skills you could use the umbrella term “Product Designer,” or if you’re focused on interface design who occasionally helps with user research, strategy, and wireframes (etc) you could use “Interaction Designer.” There is no wrong way about it. And honestly, your title may change several times over the course of your career, and that’s okay too. Change means growth and better understanding. And your title should not define you, just help you tell your story.

With all that said I believe there’s no real downside to saying you’re a “UX/UI Designer.” Sure, you might consider UI and UX Design to be different things but technically UX includes UI (and UI helps reinforce the experience) so what is the real problem here? Maybe you are a UX Designer that has really good UI skills and can deliver quality UI — something not all UX’ers can do. Nothing wrong with that.

As a Designer you should feel empowered to mix and match and refine as you see fit, to better tell your story. And in no way is this industry or career perfect, or well established. We’re still figuring it out as we go - which in and of itself is truly amazing. But let’s try to not discredit a Designer who chooses to use a certain title over another, yeah?

I believe our job is to be flexible, understanding, and inclusive. Act accordingly.

This is strictly an article devised from my personal and professional opinion and experience

YEAR OF SELF-AGREEMENT

WEEKLY ENTRY NUMBER 1: AGREEMENT TO MYSELF

As we start the blog entry for this week I want everyone to know more about me. 

For you to know, this is my first time to blog and I'm surprised how it works. This is like a digital diary for everyone who is lazy when it comes in writing, this app is really usable for you out there.

Jan Rassel De Leon an Aspiring Photographer and Lifestyle Blogger from Cabanatuan City, Philippines. A student from Wesleyan University-Philippines currently taking Humanities and Social Science for Senior High. This blog is basically Rassel's way of expressing his creative side by showcasing his weekly lifestyle and thoughts.

As we'll go start the blog I want you to know that this blog is all regarding about my "agreement to myself" since Mr. Gonzales our Personal Development professor asked us to reflect on this certain topic.

So, what are we waiting for? Below are my:

6 DISAGREEMENTS TO MYSELF

BY: JAN RASSEL D. DE LEON

This week has been so good to me, from getting a passing score in my quiz in our Media and Information (33/35), and then I got 6/10 in the surprise quiz in our Personal Development, I’m thankful because at least I got the 50% of score, but I will do my best again next week to make my scores much better. Beyond these scores, there is nothing without experience.

In my junior high school days, there is one quote that I remembered because we always seen this quote before we enter the room:  “Experience is the best teacher” thoughts are made, realizations were build and agreements were created.

Here is my agreement to myself, it was some half dozens of agreement that are free to expand.

6. If you don’t believe in yourself, no one will.

“I don’t believe in myself”  We often use this phrase whenever we deal with lack of confidence, fear, and failure. 

This is the thing that we need to throw in order to fly high, believing is the key to success. The reason why we achieve our goals is believing.

Intelligence, opportunity and resources aren’t the key of successful people to become what they are now. It was about their determination to make their goals happen, so as we enter the next journey even  the next week or the next day, always believe in yourself that you can and you will, because If you don’t believe in yourself, no one will.

5. A book is the dream that you hold on your hands.

So, I set out this month to find books, magazines, articles and other forms of information literacy. 

Since, I’m away from my family, I’d rather use my free time reading and creating motivational words, even if I’m not motivated rather.

Books are the man’s best friend, as a HUMSS student I think I am the last one who is not interested in reading books. I am looking forward to the moment that I can say that “Books are my best friend”

I hope next week I can find books that are meant to create for me, because honestly I’m so lazy when it comes in reading books. So let’s start finding interesting books. Would you give me some tips on what book should I buy?

4. Good vibes only.

Every day as we leave the house, we should need to remember this three words. Good vibes only, no one can spur the moment since I am the type of person that is always finding happiness in times of dullness. 

I don’t want another person to be out of place so I rather entertain them or have  little talk to them. Because If I were to become them, I would really be so sad that no one is finding me interesting to talk.

In my spare time, I do entertaining stuff (sound trip, calligraphy, boomerang, surfing the net, playing application and watching YouTube videos) I would suggest AC’s Life account on YouTube, he is my idol when it comes to achieving goals independently he went to Korea to watch the wedding of his favorite KDrama Star. His life is a goal. 

Good times are not planned, they are made. Having a good time with your good friends is the best moments.

3. Don’t compare yourself to others.

“Envy is ever joined with the comparing of a man’s self; and where there is no comparison, no envy.” —Sir Francis Bacon

We live in a world that is great at measuring and comparing externals. We most often compare our life to others which is wrong thing.

We measured ourselves to others and that we cannot see the good things in life, because we always defined our life to others as not what level they are.

We should understand that contentment is what we need in life. Contentment matters the most, like Pearl S. Buck said: “Many people lose the small joys in the hope for the big happiness.”  

2. Buy only what you need,not what you want. Start saving money.

Nowadays, the accumulation of money is very difficult. 

If we don’t have money, we think that we cannot live. Sometimes, money make us greedy. At times we do lies for money. 

People in today's present time, cannot move without money. 

Nevertheless, having lots of money is also losing lots of friends. Buying what we really need, not just what we want. 

Be unique and resourceful because in the future, saving money is important.

Money is not everything, memories and happiness is the true meaning of richness.

1.Finish what you start.

Today, I have less than 5 hours to pass this blog. That’s means, If we start a work we need to finish it. 

“Getting diploma is not the stage of self-actualization, because self-actualization is everyday“ we always need this on top of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

Starting my week last week was good, and I ended it up good because of my family, that is supporting me all the way, and always trying to find time to talk to me when I got homesick, especially my Wesleyanian friends who is always there helping me to leave my comfort zone, and lastly to my board mates who is always making me happy when I got home, telling me to believe in myself, and helping me to boost my confidence and building my foundation in this society.

I hope that you have learned something about my agreement to myself. Always remember those 6 things, I may not know what would be the outcome of those motivational quotes but as what we always need is to believe and God will take care of it.

So that is what I learned about Personal Development in this past week. The  Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, planning the near future, creating blogs, motivate yourself, discipline yourself, and most of all how you deal with the society and onto your behavior. 

Thank you for asking us to create blogs, because I realized that in this kind of digital diary I can be myself, I can talk to myself and I can sum up my week with a simple blog.
