发帖数: 65 | 1 I have a question, do you really like what you learn in Linguistics studies?
I have been studying it when I come to US and I'm always struggling on
finding a telling reason for me to continue it. I majored in Interpreting
when I was back in China, it is really fun! Practical, useful and
challenging.
What is your plan after doing research in this field? |

problems. it's practical, useful, and challenging to me, too.
the fact that others enjoy or hate linguistics does not really concern you
that much - decide for yourself :)
studies?

我想这个问题跟楼主的问题同样重要，甚至更为重要，至少更为实际。。。

s degree in one of the UC linguistics programs, and he had trouble finding
any linguistics-related job. i think he is teaching chinese somewhere now...

发帖数: 17243 | 7 For those who study theoretic linguistics, it's true that they often ask
themselves "Is this really useful? Why am I doing this?" etc. There are lots
of theories and approaches I dislike, and it makes me feel I wasted huge
amount of time.
However, you have to realize that research is always like that. The
contributions could be indirect and subtle.
Anyway, I suppose industrial work can be more exciting. It'll be a great
idea to take a "pratical" job at least for a while. |
