School's Back In Session

[KitKat]

Some of these courses sound very interesting, if not practical for making money.

Linguistics is a really interesting area of study because it can encompass courses ranging from acoustics to psychology to sociology/anthropology, and any other area that deals with language in some way. It can be extremely structured and scientific, to very open to interpretation.

There's actually some potential to get grants to study dying languages right now, since protecting and cataloging linguistic diversity is a really hot topic in the linguistic community right now. On a less academic side, you can also get very well-paid jobs working as a translator. I have a friend who graduated from linguistics who is working for a software company right now, writing their help files. It's his job to basically 'translate' what the engineers and program developers tell him about the software into something that's readable and comprehendable by the general population.

@Jr: The highschoolers here probably outnumber those of us who are older. We just keep them locked in the Naruto forum.
