UX Designers are in demand. As of 2018, the role is expected to rise by 22% in the coming ten years. Professionals in this field can expect an average salary of $73,927 per year in the U.S., according to PayScale.

Though “UX Designer” may come to mind first when the field of “UX Design” is brought up, the truth is that it's a multidisciplinary field. InvisionApp revealed on their website that specialist UX titles are on the rise. These in-demand roles are within reach for those with an understanding in UX Design as well, and they include Interaction Designer, Visual Designer, UX Writer, User Researcher, Accessibility Specialist, Content Strategist, and UX Strategist.
