<p>Thank you, and yes, I am not only prepared, but I expect her to discover a different one…</p>
<p>Missypie, thanks. And as I said above… It’s something I’m strongly considering.</p>
<p>I really had no intention of going to graduate school (although I nearly got talked into it by a prof. after doing pretty well in undergrad.), so my 4.5-year degree worked quite well for my purposes. It was very specific to my field. </p>
<p>However, I don’t see much point in something as specific as an undergrad. linguistic anthropology degree. I mean, it seems like a field were most jobs are going to require graduate degrees anyway. So a good foundation in Linguistics or Anthropology should be enough, right?</p>
<p>Oh, and she’s telling us now that she wants to work in a museum setting. “Like the Smithsonian or something…”</p>
<p>Ugh! Sometimes I wish she had the communication skills of her freshman brother…</p>
