What master’s should i go for?

Hey there!

I’m graduating in Applied Linguistics in Dutch, English and Polish (toegepaste taalkunde) this year, I’ve still got two resits. I’m really unsure of what master’s should I go for. I genuinely don’t want to go the Translation/Interpretation route since I feel like AI will obliterate those fields.

I did an internship at the Polish embassy last semester and since then, I’ve been contemplating getting a master’s in international relations. I worry though - I might become unemployable with my profile. Lately, I got this tingly feeling that these degrees have become worthless ever since AI has made its appearance. I know that multilingual profiles are sought after; I’m fluent in three languages and I’m pretty good in German, and Norwegian. It’s still just that, I don’t posses any other skills besides languages.

Can you guys advise me or give me any pointers on what I ought to do? You can be brutal and honest, guys. I can take it. Should I go for a master’s or just become your run-of-the-mill arbeider at a warehouse? 😅😭
