Idealistically I will be doing fieldwork in endangered languages, cataloging them before their extinction so cultural and linguistic heritage isn't lost to globalization. That's the idea with a Linguistics degree, but it would take a lot of effort and luck. Either that or doing diplomatic work, anything but staying in the country. Realistically if I stay on the path with Linguistics I will be lucky to land an adjunct professorship at a university. I'll most likely change paths to something more profitable, or do something completely unrelated to my field where I have connections. Especially with decreases in scientific funding this is seeming more likely everyday.
