I think if you are interested in user experience the best course I would recommend is you just start doing it - find a job or an opportunity to learn while doing and supplement your real-world experience with training and conferences. That way if you don't "feel the love" for UX you haven't spent a boat-load of money to enter the discipline first. Hi Dave, thanks for the question.
