What does one do with a linguistics degree? It seems like a cool area of study
It is! Well one can do rather a lot, actually. If you’re purely into academics you could probably publish and teach. There are a lot of jobs in AI development for researchers now, for getting things like Siri understand you better when you ask her “chrissake siri wazza goddamn time” when a neighbor’s dogs wakes you up at 3 am. Or you can help develop better machine translation software. Or you can translate. You can go work as a technical writer or an editor. Loads of stuff.
