Linguistics Careers (outside of Academia)

[sm96]

Hey there! I'm currently pursuing some options regarding linguistics outside of academia. I applied to PhDs for Fall 2020 but if I don't get accepted/funded anywhere I'd like to start thinking of backup plans that stay in the field. I have a BA and MA in Linguistics. I don't want all my years of schooling and coursework in Linguistics to go to waste!  Just wondering if anyone has first-hand experience using formal linguistics outside of academia... I know comp ling is a huge field, but not really my thing. Thanks!

Google hires lots of Analytic Linguists (not necessarily computational linguistics).
