>>1043263I didn't study linguistics and never said I did (apart from a few optional courses, but it wasn't even a minor). I just know a lot of people who did. Studying languages ≠ studying linguistics. I suggest you learn the difference before embarrassing yourself further. I also never said it was of no value, I said it was of rather limited value outside academia, which remains true.
But otherwise, thanks for the cringingly patronizing screed, kiddo. I'm 33 and feel confident enough to say that I probably know a tad more about the employment pool than a 23 year old student. I also speak three languages and live outside my home country, so I'm well aware how useful languages can be.
Would a Ling major find work, eventually? Probably, unless they're a total dolt and determined to live off welfare. That doesn't mean it's a great major to have, tbqh.
