University adjunct professor. Not sure there are too many others. Maybe creative strategy/ethnography at a large firm, though I can’t speak accurately to that having not worked in such a thing at such a place. Seems like with only a MA or MS and not real-world experience in ID you would be limited to the ‘meta-’ level of talking about what design can do, rather than doing it. I’ve met some Stanford PD grad students who had jobs like that.
With a masters I’d imagine its unlikely you’d get a grounding in the ‘skills’ portion of the undergrad education so wouldn’t be competitive with fresh grads for the same jobs.
Where’s that guy who went back for a masters to CCS? Sick sketching skills guy.
