I'm graduating next semester with a Bachelor's degree- Major in Linguistics and Asian Studies.
I really enjoy linguistics and would like a job in the field, but I'm having trouble thinking of jobs. Things like programming language software sounds interesting, but I have no programming skills at all.
I'm thinking of maybe being a lexicographer, use linguistics in the foresnsics field, or being a librarian.
What are your thoughts and suggestions? Keep in mind, I can't specialize beyond what I have- anything more will have to be training offered by my employer.

i'm sorry to inform you, yet as a Ling BA, you're literally not really a lot diverse from all those graduates of liberal arts important. it really is to say, you received't get a ^occupation^ that appreciates the interest of Ling majors. Wait till you get graduate tiers, then communicate about industries with such call for. With this monetary gadget immediately, concentration on getting low end jobs like a junior clerk or criminal assistant. the point is, i assume that you will be spending something else of your life in an place of work ecosystem, so get used to it. *till you're really fluently in a overseas language, interpretation/translation is out of your league.

You could always think about teaching or research. It can be difficult to find work in this area but good luck.

Talk to your advisor. He/she should be able to give you a few ideas. If your advisor is...less than fabulous...then talk to your favorite professor.
