Graduate programs in Romance Language Studies
Re: Graduate programs in Romance Language Studies
Viktor, for god's sake, just find a quick one- or two-year education program, get your education degree, and become a high school French/Spanish teacher.

I already did that, but I decided it wasn't what I could see myself doing for a 30 year career.FearfulJesuit wrote:Viktor, for god's sake, just find a quick one- or two-year education program, get your education degree, and become a high school French/Spanish teacher.
My interests are having a marketable degree in something that pays good and has need of French or Spanish. If a BA is all they care about then that's great, but many professions involving languages I've been told want MAs. I've been told, for example, that to get into translation it's basically a prereq to have a masters, especially one in translational studies.
Obviously I was going to be a college professor in the humanities, but Rory's article kind of freaked me out because of its uncanny accuracy to my current disposition and circumstances.

So wouldn't that be a high school French/Spanish teacher?Viktor77 wrote:My interests are having a marketable degree in something that pays good and has need of French or Spanish.

Viktor, 30 year careers are dead. 20 year careers are rare.
Re: Graduate programs in Romance Language Studies
Part of me really just wants to move out west and open a hotel or bed and breakfast in some touristy place. Now I don't even know if I will apply for my MA. Perhaps I am better off finding a job with my BA.
Or sometimes I think I should just get my real estate license. It's a dirty business, but it should be profitable if done right. The problem is opportunities where I live in anything are sparse, but where I live it's so cheap it's hard to justify leaving. When two people with jobs only slightly above minimum wage can afford a house and still have a disposable income, well it's hard to justify leaving those comforts, but opportunities here in anything to create a solid career are sparse and I won't get stuck in a dead-end job.

I'd advise getting the real estate license no matter what you do. It very well could come in handy.

Re: Graduate programs in Romance Language Studies
Ok, it is an MA in one of the above, French or Spanish, with an added secondary concentration in German or History or Spanish or French. Fuck if I know why it's still called an MA in Romance Languages.Drydic wrote:ಠ_ಠViktor77 wrote:Bowling Green for example offers an MA in Romance Languages with a focus in French, Spanish, German or any combination of 2 of those languages.
