Higher Education (University +) - November 2006

I am a sophomore in a US high school with a couple questions.
I love language, and am currently studying French, Finnish, Anglo-Saxon, and Latin, and I wish to go forward with language and linguistics. Plus, there are several more languages I wish to study.

1. What does it mean to study linguistics in college, and what is a linguistics degree? Does it mean learning foreign/dead languages, or just the science of phonetics, syntax, etc. of language in general?

2. What jobs could I get with a degree in linguistic, besides translator (a job soon to be replaced by machines)?

3. What are some universites (abroad, or in the US) with amazing Linguistics/language departments?

PS: no Wikipedia articles please, I've seen them all.

Thank you all, and God bless.

I've never done one of these before and I'm just wondering what exactly are colleges looking for in one of these. How can I make my statement stand out from others? Any help is greatly appreciated. The college I'm applying for is UIC in chicago. Thanks.

What would I go there for? I just would like to know what it's like there, and what kind of standards they have. I would like to get into writing, or marketing, any creative studies. Just give as much info as you have about UCLA I'm just curious. Thanks!

I always get good grades and work hard on my classes, but I wonder, is my bachelor degree going to be worth the same as the bachelor degree of a classmate who barely passes his/her classes in the real world? I would think they should, but they probably dont, I dont know. What are your thoughts?

I have never taken a night class! I was not interested until I seen that that class is only one night a week compared to the three days a week at eleven that I was going to be taking it. I just really don't want to fool with a long night class! What would you do?

I'm in college now and I wanted to know if this grading is for all classes. In all but one course they use this grading scale, but I wanted to know what if this is supposed to be for all colleges? For transferring?

I always say to myself I won't be nervous and I'm usually not right up until 30 seconds before I start.

I don't think I specifically have a fear of speaking in front of a small class because I don't mind besides the fact that I'm get so nervous right when it starts
