Anyone here studying linguistics? i feel like its a really underrated science...

Good enough to Tolkien!.

I love studying language more than anything in the world. When I looked into the potential for careers in linguistics, I was heart broken with the results. The articles I found pretty much said that it is an anachronistic field and there was no future in it besides teaching. Perhaps I'm too easily dismayed, but I accepted that there was no future in it for me.
I've been lost ever since then, drifting from career to career with no passion.
I envy you. Never give up.

I have an IQ of 114, but I came into this thread knowing what the study of Linguistics entailed- because I find it interesting enough, and it bleeds into other avenues of study I legitimately enjoy.

I don't necessarily think IQ is the sole problem.

if it wasn't for the communication we wouldn't be able to do all the shit we do nowadays.

I am a PhD student at a Chomskyan school working mostly on formal problems.

Are you the guy who was working on something to do with a recent paper by Ed Stabler and Chris Collins?
