Do I need a Computer Science Degree to become a UX Designer?

If I were you, I would google for people hiring UX designers and check what they ask for. I assume they would like some sort of degree relevant to computer graphics or art.

I have been thinking of dropping out in my first year. Now I'm thinking of it more as I don't enjoy programming anymore and none of the jobs that comp sci graduates get into suit me as a person. I'm the kind of person who knows the destination and what I'm planning/aiming for. But the jobs (software dev, software engineering, cyber security, data scientist) don't get me excited and makes me feel that I'm not up for it. I honestly know people far better for those jobs and I can't tell the recruiter to hire me for those jobs as they're not for me.

I did enjoy my design minor module last year. Plus, I did a module on HCI which intrigued me and I did coursework on developing a app which I had to do: user personas, scenarios, user research, managing group meetings, creating prototypes and wireframes. This is what a UX designer does a job, and I know that I can do this as a job and enjoy it. I honestly don't know yet as it seems too good to be true and I don't know if I need my degree anymore. Design, drawing and being creative/visual is what I enjoy as well.
Are you in search of talented product designers? Look no further! I recently stumbled upon a fantastic blog that listed the top platforms where you can hire product designers. The blog provided a comprehensive overview of each platform, highlighting their features, pricing models, and user reviews. It was visit a game-changer for me as I discovered a variety of options to find skilled product designers for my projects. Whether you're a startup or an established company, this blog is a valuable resource to connect with talented designers who can bring your product visions to life.
I'm doing a group programming project for one of my modules and the task is to develop a game.... Guess what I was mostly doing? Drawing the characters, weapons, and developing the story. My role is to develop the UI and everything visual. Its kinda like I'm the Art department for films. The more I research on UX, the more it seems that I can do it as a job and enjoy it like it's not a job at all. Even say to the recruiter that I'm the one for this job and not feel like I'm lying to them.
I'm planning to do a UX design course over Xmas as well, to get a in-depth perspective into UX design and testing if this is the job and career for me.

Yeah, your reply helped. Google, Amazon for example are looking for a degree in design, computer science or even a masters in HCI. So, I'll try and finish my degree I guess and do a masters in HCI. But I have to say that most qualification requirements want a degree in design or 3+ years of experience in UX Design
