Re: What do you do for a living
I’m a computer programmer. My job had nothing to do with natural languages until pretty recently, when we got a contract in Quebec and I happened to be the only one in the head office who spoke French. Now I’m the designated guy that our Quebec clients email with technical questions.

Re: What do you do for a living
Former student that is currently a couch-surfing refugee.
I won't qualify for resident-tuition until I have been on a lease for a year, so I won't be a degree-seeking student again for awhile. In between all the appointments required to establish residency, I study Spanish. Even though I have to work REALLY hard to make any progress, at least I am making progress at something that will matter no matter what happens with this pandemic. My Spanish studies are my lifeline right now.
I have no idea what I will major in when I go back to school. What will the world be like, then?

It would be of benefit to me in my vocation if I had better facility with more languages. That, and if I were more stealthy.
