I'll be graduating next month from the University of Toronto with an Hons.BA in Religious
Studies, South Asian Studies, and Italian. Most of my energy was directed towards the
study of Hinduism and Sikhism. I also obtained a diploma in Punjabi from Punjabi
University, Patiala during a year spent in India.

Come September, I'll begin reading an M.Phil. in Modern South Asian Studies at Oxford.
I'll continue studying Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi. I will also develop a reading knowledge
of Awadhi, Braj, and the Punjabi of the Guru Granth Sahib.

I'm undecided on career plans. I'm strongly considering Canada's federal public service.
Academia is a possibility, but I doubt I'll continue down that path. I'd love to find
work in India, as well, so that's another option.

I majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley.   This was mostly analog electronics and signal processing, of which in my life I've never actually used professionally. I've been working in the video games business ever since.

I graduated with an Associate Degree in Music Studies (Contemporary Voice) in 2009 and I am currently working towards a Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy). Another year and a half to go! After that I'm considering doing a Diploma in Languages (Spanish) as I'll already have exemption from the beginner units plus two intermediate units credited from my BA. That will leave me free to explore the much more interesting advanced and cultural units.

Edited to add: Aside from my music degree, a university education is more about personal development for me than it is about a career. Teaching the piano is my main source of income and I plan to make this my long term career. For professional development I am continuing my study with the performance diplomas offered by the AMEB (Australian Music Examinations Board).

Currently I'm in my third year of a BA Linguistics and Japanese; once I'm back from Japan I'll have one year left of it, and after that I'm hoping to get into a one-year translation master's programme.

Then I want to translate Japanese into German/English freelance while bumming around the world for a year or two, and at some point go back to university to study something related to aid and disaster relief. Plans may, of course, change.

Currently in a bilingual (French / German) Bachelor of Law, and I'm thinking about getting a special mention in European Law (Internal Market Law and European Private Law). But I would love to be able to choose International law (currently studying Public, but I would love to extend further...).

My Hungarian and Croatian doesn't really fit in all this :). But whatever.

oh, my god! You speak Croatian? That's amazing.
I know that everyone here is mostly dedicated to studying languages and is not a weird thing to learn any language, but I'm still surprised someone was interested enough to actually learn Croatian.
Yaaay! I'm just happy, that's all.

On topic- Oh, and I haven't yet finished my education.

There are a bunch of us here;) And I know quite a few Russians who love your football NT and learn the language because of this ;) That's my main reason too :D
