Linguistics Master's Degree, what can you do with that?

Question

I'm asking folks in this category too:
Well, I'm already in debt with this college thing, and my major is French. That means McDonald's and substitute teaching for a good minute, etc., until I finish a Master's. (No, no no, I'm not leaving the USA or at least this region near Michigan (y'know, Ohio, etc. for 1 or 2 years) Oakland Community College has Linguistics.

Does anybody know more about this degree, and where you could use it?

I'm thinking about going overseas to teach English, I don't think I really need a teaching degree for that, though it could be useful, but what kind of jobs would a linguistic's master's get?

Answer 1

Well, you can always teach English or French. You know about applied linguistics, right? You may work on that area of linguistics and improve your teaching skills as well. Also, second language acquisition studies are within the scope of linguistics as well as language teaching.
