It’s a great program, but you may want to consider a different major or maybe minor in linguistics.
There are a few people I know who majored in linguistics at Harvard and are having a very difficult time getting a job.
Just fyi



I believe you, but I’m not sure your friends are representative of the norm… I’ve found that companies don’t care too much about your concentration, so long as you have a good GPA and do some interesting extracurricular activities that show an interest in the sector you want a job in. Depends on what sort of jobs your friends are looking at, though.
