Re: What should I study next?

Latin is the cornerstone of a classical education. A classical education, or even part of one, is the gateway to a better life. Seems to me that you are not shopping your CV to the right people.

This is really not true, in general.

lmao should i tell this to one of my closest friend who has a laurea cum laude in Classical Studies (Latin AND Greek) and is currently working in a fast food chain? and she simply wants to be a teacher, not a lawyer!

idek man, Latin is just useless from where i come from. sure, you can impress your friends and read the scripts on all the cool monuments but at the end of the day you don't really use it if not for law or... church stuff i suppose?
also, simply stating that you studied latin in your CV doesn't mean anything usually. nobody SPEAKS it nowadays (even in Vatican they don't speak CLASSICAL Latin).

This might have been true in the 1960s (when Latin was often compulsory). It is not true today.

Today, on the American job hunt, a college education, no matter how ~classical~, is useless. Employers want people with hands-on experience and good references, not someone who has read Cicero. I am confident enough to say you are objectively wrong, unless you are going into a field that actively uses Lain.
