Two years of Superlinguo Linguistics Jobs interviews
Two years ago I started interviewing people who had studied linguistics and then gone on to careers outside of academia. At the start it was mostly friends who I thought had interesting and diverse jobs. Twenty interviews later, and I’m struck by the diversity of work that people who have studied linguistics go on to do.
Different people have found different parts of their linguistics training more or less useful. No one has (yet) said that they regret studying linguistics, although many have been honest about the fact that university education doesn’t always prepare them with the skills they need in their future careers.
The linguistics jobs series will continue on its monthly-ish basis. If you studied linguistics (be it a semester in undergrad to a PhD) and you’d like to be interviewed, get in touch!
