Yet another hard skill that is in-demand in computer science is UX. This is short for “user experience”. According to Interaction-Design, it is “the process design teams use to create products that provide meaningful and relevant experiences to users.

Nowadays, people use apps to do almost everything. But there is a team of people who is behind designing that customer experience to make it better and better. In a capitalist society, money is what makes the world go round. So companies are only going to want more and more experts to help them bring their brand up to speed. According to Glassdoor, the average pay for a UX designer is just over $90,000 a year.
