What To Do With My Life
For the past couple years, I was certain that I would wind up one of the following:
- An attorney.
- An academic linguist, specialized in phonology and phonetics.
- A cognitive scientist, specialized in theoretical linguistics.
However, as I’ve explored what has really interested me, the following option has emerged as a serious contender:
- An academic in comparative media studies and/or game design.
What this latest field does is combine many of my interests: formal systems, computation, discrete mathematics, literary theory, interdisciplinary study, technology and games. This summer I’m going to peruse some of the academic literature from the field to get a sense of what such a career would entail.
