[How has your UCSC education in Language Studies and Linguistics helped you in your current career?]

You get a solid background in formal linguistics at UCSC, whether you take the undergrad sequence or take the grad courses. I felt that the argumentation skills and ability to organize and analyze language data I developed at UCSC really helped later in research and in getting my Ph.D.
