I graduated from the MTESL program at ASU several years ago. I spent a couple of years teaching at the American English & Culture Program at ASU. Then I taught for SCC's ESL program for a little while, until I switched gears & opened a Spanish school in Tempe. Perhaps opening your own French school could be an option. You don't need a degree for that - just a very cool spousal/financial unit :)

Hyunwoo and Keith, thank you, and welcome to the blog!

Hyunwoo: Hahaha you can't say "spousal unit" in Korean? Hmmm...we have to settle for "the cool 여보" ;)

I am not sure about the lost opportunities associated with French Linguistics either. In the MTESOL program, mastery of a foreign language is required, so French is still critical there since it's my strongest foreign language. I will just have to return to the US and talk to advisors.

Equally crucial is going to the university bookstore and buying t-shirts in school colors :D Maroon and gold...hmmm...yellow isn't a good color for me, so I'll have to keep it in the background. I can live with maroon though.

You've heard me say this once, but I think it's fantastic that you are going to pursue Grad School! You'll do wonderfully!

It's great that you've made a big decision for you...

It's great that you've made a big decision for your life, and I strongly support (if it means anything, haha) your pursuing higher education (which I'll have to do too in the future). It's also nice that your cool/financial spousal unit(which is impossible to translate into Korean, LOL) is supporting the idea. :)

I don't know much about what kind of opportunites not having a higher degree in French might make you lose, but with your level of French, I think you'll find other great opportunities even when you choose to take the TESOL course! :)

Just a piece of my thought ^^;

화이팅!
