Hello Folks,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with some information as such, I'm going to start the Introduction course at Sabhal Mor Ostaig in Feb called I hope my Gaelic is ok "An Cursa t-inntrigidh" and then possibly going on by how well or not so well I am doing in this couse will consider studying Gaelic further possibly to degree level.

Does anyone know how long it would take to continue to finish a degree program in Gaelic? I think once the intro course is finished it is then onto another 1year course and then I think the Degree program.

Is it possible for a career in the Gaelic field with the intro course and HE-Dip Course. I am 25years old at present and would like to be looking for work before I turn 30 in the Gaelic field if this happened,

HAHA maybe I should consider learning English better before posting such a complex question, sorry if this going all over the place - I have no idea how I'm not getting this out right Cool

but basically

a) what types of careers are there for learners of gaelic with a few years education under their belt?
b) does anyone on the board work with Gaelic on day to day issues?
c) any additional info would be great

thanks for your help and sorry for confusing everyone.

Very Happy

From what I gather through my wife, a girl called Joy Dunlop works for Argyle and Bute as a Gaelic Development Officer, she only learnt the language as a result of going to Sabhal Mor Ostaig. She also spent time out in Nova Scotia as a Gaelic Officer too. So by all means it's possible to learn the language then carve out a career in it.
