The Importance of Being a Mentor

UX is very special here because I always say there is no designer by design. There is no common or regular path into this field until now. Most of the people come from different fields, maybe finance or some other fields that are not related in the first place to UX. And they made a very conscious decision to then switch and then finding what made them actually switch, what got them excited. It's being able to understand or recognize when somebody needs an answer or if they just need an ear. The human connection of being a mentor is so important for the process itself. But it also helps in so many other ways in daily work.
