From the excellent Sensory Metrics comes an article on the financial merits of being a User Experience designer.
The Information Architecture Institute recently released the results of its annual salary survey. Despite a global economic pandemic, UX salaries rose about 10% over 2007 (mean - $96,800 USD). It’s interesting that UX women earned a mean salary of $97,500, while UX men trailed at $96,200.

User Experince Design must be one of the few professions where women earn more than men on average.
