You see many positions out there in the real world for ux designers. So I am not understanding why that is a negative in your mind. Also, how do you see the difference in User Experience, HCI, Interaction Design, and Information Architecture being explained? I see/read many things that use these roles interchangeably within the industry that it can be difficult to really have a clear picture of the difference. It is much more clear cut to say you are a .net developer or a DBA. I am not asking to challenge you, just that I see some of my own misconceptions in your article and would love to get a clearer picture.
