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

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.

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!
