Is it possible to start a career in this industry after UI/UX courses?

Question

User interface

Hello.
I plan to change my activity profile to UX / UI design, but I am a humanist.
I have experience with Photoshop and Corel (hobby photography) and a bit of web design (a site for myself).
I want to take any long courses online, maybe someone can give advice on which ones to choose? City of St. Petersburg.
Will they help me find a job? There is no experience yet, the age is close to the "age of Christ", because of these aspects, even a junom is not taken anywhere ...

Answer 1

Courses are not a panacea, whether you study on your own or take advantage of the courses, you will have to constantly and constantly develop. The main aspect is desire, and how much you are ready to immerse yourself in the industry. After the courses, it is possible to get a job as an intern in some company, but the key point is how much you are willing to do on your own, because no one will provide you with ready-made knowledge.
Read books, practice, watch others do, take courses (if necessary).
Well, in order to get a job, you need at least 3-4 works in your portfolio. And forget about Photoshop, for interfaces - now everyone uses Figma, Sketch or Adobe XD, Photoshop is purely for bitmap graphics.

Answer 2

Of the courses - the British (BHSAD) and the tower (higher school of economics). They have both intensive and full-fledged programs. And so - look for information on the Internet, come up with tasks for yourself, figure it out, read books (any, there are not so many of them).
