Same for me. I am currently in a generalized MFA program before I start a doctoral program in either linguistics or history. I have undergrad degrees in computer science and German literature with also some classes in art, history, and a few other languages. How about yourself?

I was initially going for CS as well, but switched over to mec engineering (third year). Will most likely go for my masters after, but not sure if I'm willing to take out loans for grad school, so still debating whether it will be worth it.
I graduated in 1997. I would have loved to have had something like mturk when I was in school. All that time playing games, watching tv and hanging out in coffee shops . . . . could have made some money (while sitting in a coffee shop and watching tv)
Most likely computational linguistics. With my CS background along with the language knowledge I feel it would be the best fit and that may ultimately be the route I go if I am able to find a good program and funding. @glyco my university offered to fund my MFA and that's one reason I decided to do it. If you're able try to find a masters that will help you in some way. Paying for school isn't fun especially if you don't have to do it

Yep, I'm waiting to see if I can do it for free. I'll most likely spend 1-3 years after undergrad looking for jobs/more experience so I'll be able to better evaluate the need for a masters and return to school if need be
I did this yesterday. Don't remember the time involved, but it was worth it. I just accidentally accepted it again, and it let me, but I think I'll return. Pretty sure we can't do it twice.
This is a good plan. I went back to school late in life. Finished bachelors, went straight through and got masters. I would nave been better off working in between because the jobs that would give me experience, I was over-qualified for after I finished my masters & I couldn't get hired. Get that job experience first, then get your masters. I think you would be much better off this way.
