[IxDA Discuss] "Design" in Interaction Design?

[Michael Micheletti]

I haven't run into many folks with psych backgrounds in the design or coding
worlds. Many more artists, musicians, mathematicians, academics. I've heard
of sociologists and anthropologists, but haven't worked with them
personally.

Where I worked with people with psych degrees years ago: bucking rivets on
the wing line at the airplane factory. Swing shift. I was ok with the idea
of musicians having crummy jobs to pay the rent, but folks with masters
degrees? Got some good book recommendations though during breaks, when the
insane noise quietened enough where we could actually hear each other speak.
