I took an Intro to Linguistics course online when I was at community college. I got an A minus in the end. When I transferred over to the university level, I declared Linguistics as my major. I was enrolled in an Intro to Linguistics and Intro to Phonetics course and failed almost everything the first ten weeks of the semester and withdrew from them. I changed my major to Anthropology but want to return back to Linguistics because I doubted myself. I know that I'm capable of succeeding if I simply ask for help. Sorry for the long response haha. How do you stay motivated to not change your major? Would you recommend that I switch back to being a Linguistics major? :)
Hi Diego. Sorry to hear about your plight. Personally, I would never consider changing my major because of my desired career path. Also, the way I see it, nothing worth having is easy. My coursework is very difficult but that doesn't stop me from pursuing my goals. Whether or not to return to ling is your choice, but if you are confident in your ability to succeed in the major then maybe it's something you will seriously consider. Best of luck to you!
Hi Hailey, I am currently an undergraduate student in Linguistics. But my GPA in my first at colloge was really bad its under 2.50 but in my 2nd year I got 3.50 but my overall grade is still low. And I want to pursue an academic career in Linguistics. I want to get a PHD for example. But I also need a scholarship. Do you think I would have a chance?
Hi, I cannot comment on your chances of getting into a school because I am just a student myself. I would recommend getting into contact with an advisor at the school you want to go to.
You're right that not many CCs offer it as the associates level. There's no specific CC to attend. There is more than one way to transfer and you definitely don't have to have an associate's degree in the same major as long as you complete as many premajor courses as you can before transferring.
i took one linguistics course online at a different cc and managed to transfer into Linguistics at UCLA!! Just as long as you have a good gpa, take the pre requisite class and a second language down your associates shouldnt affect you. For example, I graduated my cc with a business,economics, and political science assosicates, so again it should not affect you.
Hi) have you ever had Linguostylistics? Do you have any recommendations for a textbook on the subject? I have that subject next semester and I want to prepare a little, but unfortunately, I have no idea what textbook to use.
Hi, I am an undergraduate in business administration I am highly interested in taking up linguistics what prior classes do I need to take if I want to apply for a master's in linguistics??
I do not know the answer to this. You can find information about this on the Linguistics department website of the university that you are interested in applying to.
@@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege What schools in CA can you transfer to to get a degree in SLP? I'm curious because I want to do SLP but the colleges I'm interested in don't have them as a major or program
@Steven Lee that's simply not true. there is ample opportunity to get involved in research. the purpose of the UC system is to be a bastion of research. so no, there may not necessarily be job training (depending on what position you desire), but that is not the intent of the UC. if you want to get an education that will prepare you for the workforce you can go to CSU. if you want to be at the forefront of research in any given field, you go to UC. most employers will provide some sort of job training anyway. however, I held an internship where the responsibilities I had and tasks I executed were identical to full time employees at that company, and everything I did was basically what I learned in class. so in that sense you could say I did receive some job training. The linguistics department at UCLA is one of the best not only in the country but in the world, so I suggest you do some research before making these unfounded claims.
@Steven Lee It's more about grit than luck. I applied to well over 80 internships/summer jobs. 3 called me back. Only one was interested in hiring me and it wasn't even for the position I originally applied for. It seems like you've been through a lot but don't give up! Nothing worth having is easy.
another ling maj. thx for vid :)
Thanks for watching

A question..when you wanted to be a transfer student to community college when you applied to UCLA did they ask about your SAT ?
Transfer applicants in the UC system are not required to take any standardized tests.
Thank You so much for these videos
I'm glad you enjoy them!

nice video, it was interesting to see your schedule
Thank you for this!!!!

Can I ask a question? What community college should I take to transfer to UCLA in Linguistics? Not many colleges offer this major
You're right that not many CCs offer it as the associates level. There's no specific CC to attend. There is more than one way to transfer and you definitely don't have to have an associate's degree in the same major as long as you complete as many premajor courses as you can before transferring.

Is linguistics a class that I should take? I’m a communications major but I need a fifth class. Also I just want a easy class.
I wouldn't take linguistics unless you are committed to it. It's not easy by any stretch of the imagination.
Hi) have you ever had Linguostylistics? Do you have any recommendations for a textbook on the subject? I have that subject next semester and I want to prepare a little, but unfortunately, I have no idea what textbook to use.
Hi there! I am not familiar with it. You could try emailing your professor and asking for suggestions. Good luck!

@@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege okay thank you
How many upper division classes do you need to take for your major?
I need 10 for appling, but UCLA requires at least 60 upper division units in order to graduate so I will probably take closer to 15.
😊😍
What do you plan to do with your major? Also how are you paying for your college?
I plan on going to a master's program to become a Speech Language Pathologist. I am taking out loans.

Hailey Dollar thoughts you’d be happy to hear I got a fellowship to the University of New Mexico! :)
going to UCLA for a linguistics major is a waist of time and money
Reading this comment was a "waist" of my energy.
