I have found Linguistics to be helpful in my computer work.  I have applied
basic principles of phonology to web page maintainance, and used syntactic
theory in my programs.  What I have found to be the most useful part of a Ling
education (other than the knowledge of language), is a technique to analyze
and
solve a problem.  That will be very useful no matter what field you eventually
go into.
