i studied linguistics and i liked it, but the simple truth in this world is, you never earn much money, work in sh1tty jobs with a Master of Arts.
So basically i wanted to avoid beeing poor and gave programming a shot. now, nearly 10years after this decision i am a mid-level to senior, well payed, safe job. and the best is, i really like programming, i even do it at home, its kind of a hobby for me.
not really, its different. maybe i could use the knowledge it in other fields, like speech processing, but as webdeveloper with strong focus on consuming rest/graphql api's, {...nope}.

Do you use your knowledge of linguistics in any way when you do programming?
