Which Japanese university should I go to if my major is Linguistics?

Unsure of which university course to choose?

  • I'm going to university next year. Unfortunately I'm a bit confused on what to do. I've decided on the college that I want to go to, and also the two courses that I would consider doing; but alas I can only choose one of them. I'm considering one of the following; Civil Engineering; Computer Science, Linguistics and Irish Gaelic; or Computer Science, Linguistics and German. Firstly with engineering; I model structures for games in my free time, such as SimCity 4 and etc. I love geometry and always get between 90% and 100% in my classes in school for graphics. I also love transportation and efficiency. Secondly computer science, linguistics and Irish; I also mod games often. I can write C++ programmes that I self taught myself. I study linguistics from the internet as a hobby, and I am a polyglot [I speak multiple languages fluently and can learn languages very easily]. I translate games into the Irish language too. The course consists of learning Scot Gaelic as well as Irish. Finally with computer science, linguistics and German; I love the German language and am fluent. I have been to Germany many times, and have a neutral accent when speaking German. The course consists of as previously mentioned otherwise, except for the fact that German is the language that is learned. I love all three, but I'm not too sure about job possibilities. Irish is a beautiful language, as is German too, but Irish is absolutely useless with regard to jobs. I don't want to be a teacher, and don't want to spend my life translating documents into Irish for the government. German has more opportunities. But in total, what could I get out of computer science with linguistics? Engineering would allow me to earn more, and I could just live in Germany. I'm so confused what to do, I want to do all three!

  • Answer:

    Engineering and Computer Science are two well-paying jobs but in terms of job security they are quite bad. Employers typically will fire you after 5 years to be replaced by someone fresh out of college because they are cheaper to hire and you no longer know the latest tech.
