very specific amount of time
>>9867740>if you want to use your cs degreedepends how everything pans out but i'd probably be abandoning trying to finish the CS degree unless i can squeak out a minor or something. i'm really skeptical that my credits won't transfer well since i'd be going to a different university this time.
i'm glad you said around 5 since that's what i was thinking as well. particularly useful as a "look i have literally any degree" degree. translation work sounds comfy but i wouldn't be married to the idea
i was thinking the same thing about the courses itself. fluency in 3 years seems crazy but enjoyable. a cursory glance at the program requirements seems to show just needing 2 semesters of intermediate and advanced [language] each, an english literature class, then whatever 5 language-relevant courses you want. your pick of history, culture, linguistics, etc. which is very nice because i hate history so i might actually be able to avoid it instead of having to grit through it.
my options would be chinese, japanese, italian, french, german, spanish and portuguese.
got me fucked up if you think i'm going to china, nobody cares about french or italians, and south america/spain seem a bit awful so japanese or german it is.
german sounds really easy but japanese is far more impressive and i'd get infinitely more personal use out of fluency.
looks like i could do a "two language concentration" and do both but i think that would require me to take the intermediate courses without ever taking the basic ones so that's probably out the window.
