Finding Possible Career Choices Is Fun!

I've decided that I might be happy about pursuing a career in linguistics. It's almost like a science, for it is the science of languages. And I love learning new languages. I mean, all I know so far is some broken French, but I just love the feeling of knowing that I could go to a foreign country and be able to blend in somewhat. And learning about the culture of that country is pretty interesting, too.

As of now, I've decided, if I am to try to be a linguist, I should start now and attempt to take every foreign language class I can while still in high school. I'll complete French by going through French V and start Spanish Junior year (since I already signed up my classes next year) and go at least to Spanish III, and I'll also try to get some German, too.

Hopefully when I'm out of high school I'll have known French and Spanish at the very least, and throughout college I'd want to learn a total of about 8 languages, three or four of which I would already know. Those would be English (duh), French, Spanish, German, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and some Latin. If I could I'd go after Italian and Norse/Swedish/Finnish. Depends.

Or I might not want to be a linguist. Whatever.
