Linguistics
A scientific study of language — paths into language technology support, teaching, research, translation, and content systems.
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
Linguistics is mistaken for "just languages." Computational-adjacent annotation, language teaching, translation quality, and research assistance hire methodical grads. Show a small corpus/annotation project or teaching demo. Pair theory with a tool or classroom artifact so recruiters see application. Campus and early-career screens still reward ownership stories over buzzword lists. Bring one artifact — clip, draft, research note, lesson plan, or campaign log — you can defend in depth.
