It's been a century of answers and all of them have been wrong
Yesterday I had the delightful surprise of discovering some actual career-related ambition. I've been following it up this morning, looking for computational linguistics jobs. I always just assumed you can't get a linguistics job without MA and PhD degrees, but that looks like not the case at all.
Of course I should still go to grad school so I can get a competetive job and a decent salary. But I might actually not be structurally unemployed after graduation!!!
As a public service to other (would-be-)linguists reading this journal, here are some sites with info about linguistics jobs, especially comp ling. These should really be required reading for linguistics majors. And there're two sites about teaching English in China because, oooh.

P.S.: Playing pool last night was fun. Tim thinks I should be slapped for not hanging out with Michelle more earlier this summer, and I think I agree with him.
