The College Thread

[DrBanneker]

I'm majoring in linguistics but I'm thinking about making that minor and majoring in computer science, if possible.

I like linguistics but is it a money maker? I'm unsure. The money would be in engineering STEM ish.

Anybody have any advice? I'm a Jr, I would have to do my math classes again but I'm not far behind college math. Just 1 class.

If you combined CS and linguistics and did some stat courses you could go into AI natural language processing which has some good money making job opportunities. If only linguistics though, not much unless you want to teach or go to grad school.

Cool, make sure you get a PhD then, not masters. If you aren't sure can you double major or do a CS major, linguistics minor?

That's why I want my masters I don't want to be tenured or full time but teach a class here or there

I can, I was looking at that or psycholinguistics. I'm not sure. With computer science that would be dope too, but I'd like to stagger away from that unless maybe it was neural linguistics. But who knows I need to learn about them all. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, that'd be dope, I think work in your field for some time and even venture out for other side projects and then in your later years I'd like that full time or tenured tbh.

I feel like at a certain point I wanna get out of that work job loop and just focus on educating people.

Like my teacher, has her PhD and I think is tenured by did an extensive amount of work in linguistics but she teaches classes now even introduction classes and seems to be happy with it. Always smiling bright and is helpful.

What are y'all studying

By teaching "here and there" go you mean as an adjunct? Pay is pretty bad but it is an ok part time gig. For associate prof you would probably need a PhD or at least claim to be trying for tenure track but I dunno, maybe some small or community colleges could be a good bet for part time teaching.

I registered for my final four courses. I'll be done in December, 152 credits strong.

Are you you being charged extra for the numbers of credits you've taken?

Nah. Since I'm double majoring, the credit cap has risen. At my school you have to attempt 150% of a single programs credits before penalties are enforced. If I was in a single program, I would need to attempt 180 credits. I'm good there.
