      Haha, good question. I think I did not want to become a teacher of any kind, but wanted to do research. And research in Linguistics is not really my cup of tea. But having a good knowledge of English serves me extremely well now, because English really is the language of science – we read, write, talk in English all the time. And it enabled me to take a job in the lovely UK 🙂
