In this weeks video, I'm presenting career options to people studying or graduating from language/linguistics degrees. It is common knowledge, that language jobs don't usually pay as much as technical careers, however, there is a much greater versatility than people think. Check it out and let me know in the comments if I missed something.

I normally don't comment on videos but I just gotta say thank you. Once I graduated I had no idea what to do but I still wanted to continue my Japanese studies from high school. However, a lot of my relatives always said that I could never get a job or there aren't any job opportunities in this career unless I wanted to become a teacher. This video really helped me a lot and encouraged me to actually apply and enrol in a diploma of languages. And to everyone else who is tossing and turning if they should do it or not, I say if you're very passionate about languages or anything in a particular area just go for it. And if it doesn't work out then at least in future you can try again it's never too late to start again whether you're 18 or 40 years old it doesn't matter. Consistency is key. And to anyone who would read this far congrats, I appreciate it. I hope you all have a nice day. O(∩_∩)O

@orbit1894 8 месяцев назад

theyre most likely right though. Languages (as I language graduate myself) don't offer good careers, yeah you might like the learning aspect or making new friends with the language you're learning. But I wouldn't recommend it to anybody knowing what I know today. Its mostly a waste of time (if you want to make it a career) and should be a hobby. If you don't want to end up unemployed learn a proper trade along with the language ASAP. If you don't want to be a teacher, 90% of the time, its a deadend pursuit.

@Andrea-ck4fp 2 года назад

Thank you for this video! I knew that I wanted to invest my life in languages but as an introvert struggled with the idea of being a teacher in another country (that's the most common route I've seen people follow). You've provided a list of jobs that allow us to work independently with our target language.

I am a little old for learning languages and I'm finally getting out of the military and looking for a new start. Turns out even though I passed the programs and did the job for years I'm not suited to engineering jobs and they make me miserable. I've been obsessed with language/linguistics since I was a kid so your video is super. I'm finding that it's really hard for me to learn languages now but it's one of the only things I can maintain interest in. I just don't even know what I'm studying them for yet or what I'm going to do with them yet, but your video is super helpful because it gives me a place to start. I was afraid of going to school for linguistics because it seemed like there might be limited opportunity but I definitely feel better about it after listening to you. Great video, I'm honestly surprised your channel hasn't gotten that much attention yet

@Freelanceverse 2 года назад

Thanks so much for the feedback, Katherine! It's definitely never too late for learning new languages :) Glad the content is useful to you.

@taya0324 2 года назад

Just do it. Dont let fear get the better of you. So what if you're older, you can have more discipline and focus than younger people do. So what if you feel inadequate, being determined and inspired by learning something you love gets you farther than doing something that you detest. You can definitely do it. You're not a failure for discovering something that seems too late. Its not too late, its that you recognize the diligence, patience and responsibility you need to become this new 'you' with a skill that seems overwhelming. If anything you know the steps and how to get there, take in the practice required to gain more confidence. Its easy to feel stupid at the beginning of something, but that is not stupidity, its acknowledgement that if you're going to be good at something, you're going to have to work your butt off and whether its worth it or not depends on your attitude.

Thank you very much for this informative video! The way you presented the jobs was very engaging and I was very motivated and inspired. I still have 3 years of regular school left before I go to university, but I wanted to look into possible fields of study and found myself very pleased with the variety of jobs for which a linguistics degree is of use. Many of these jobs sound like very much fun to me, especially language therapist, counselor, teacher, voice-over artist, maybe even translator for the voice-overs, and also a job as an academic linguist. I have much ease with learning languages and enjoy analyzing and noticing aspects of linguistics in my daily life and study. Even the obscurer topics of linguistics sound thrilling to me. I still have a long way to go, so who knows what I'll end up doing, but I certainly have a lot of aspiration now. I very much appreciate your well-researched and compelling review! Keep going!

@Freelanceverse 3 года назад

Yes, I understand linguist really as someone who works in a uni or any other research institution working on languages. But you can call yourself a linguist and work in all these professions I mentioned. I assume it's hard to make a living as a dead languages linguist, maybe that's more something for the side as a hobby.
