2602: "Linguistics Degree"

Post by ratammer »

Title text: You'd think 'linguistics' would go to someone important in the field, but it's actually assigned to a random student in Ohio who barely graduated and then went into automotive marketing.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Randall has gradually gone from "lightly mocking linguistics like he does the rest of the humanities" to "wishing he'd been a linguist"?

I'm watching the first episode of all different cartoons!

I don't know why, but I get the feel linguistics has become a trendy field. In part NLP driven, but I think not entirely.

If you find the human brain and human culture interesting, it's a nice system to investigate.
