My first degree is in linguistics, which I absolutely love, but the only real thing you can do with it is be a professor of linguistics. I've been doing grad work in it, but I've realized I just couldn't stand to do it for the rest of my life- you can only write so many papers on the syntax of Gothic before you start to lose your mind. So I'm going back to do the thing I originally went to school for, before I got into linguistics, which is engineering. And you can't just jump from linguistics to engineering- so it's back to undergrad I go.
