Great article Miklos, there are definitely many things here I agree with: there's a need for a better education model in UX, not just bootcamps but also formal education (for those who are in a position to be able to afford it) and especially non-traditional forms of education, for those who are unable to afford a degree (often not necessary for most UX roles). Low-cost intro courses are a great option nowadays, and being able to select your own mentor, I believe it's so important because it's not just about their expertise/ knowledge but also the connection. More than that, mentors should never be replacement for a quality course, they are not teachers or instructors. So I'd add that we're missing that component in non-formal UX education. What I disagree with: that students need to be "screened" before being able to pursue a career in UX, or that only some people are able to truly succeed. I think everyone can be a UX designer, I truly believe in that, they just need to be able to manage their expectations right: It takes time, effort and dedication. It's not a 12-week thing. Same as university, finishing a degree, a certificate or a course is just the first step.
