I am a Linguistics student that is graduating in June with my BA in Applied Linguistics. Does it seem like there are as many degrees for freshly graduated students or are most places looking for graduate students or higher?
Sara, unfortunately for linguistics, I think a graduate degree is a competitive advantage, but that's not to say a BA can't get an entry level job, especially at branding and marketing companies (most of those will be NY/LA/SF). Look at Interbrand, they advertise for linguists all the time: http://interbrand.hodesiq.com/interbrand/job_detail.asp?JobID=4430861&user_id=&BrandSrc=
