What types of jobs are there out there in the field of Linguistics??? (other than translating)?
In linguistics you could, of course, continue your higher education, get your PhD and teach.\nIf you stick with a BA in linguistics you could work in any company's dept of communications, public relations and anything that would have to do with words!!\nI say you should study what interests you and from there you can discover all kinds of options available to you as far as a career.\nGood luck!!
A couple of quick ideas from this old RN.  How about administration in Hospitals or Nursing homes.  It should be a prerequisite for all those at the top of such organizations to have your background.  I would check with your state requirements for certification process for either of the above and go for it.  How about managing a "non-profit" having to do with the homeless situation in our country or the "battered or abused".  See--I still think like a nurse.  They say that nurses are "born" ,not just educated to do.  Ask yourself--which am I and go for it.  You have enough "book-learning"  dear.  Good luck
