Who can believe it’s been six years? I always forget that I began this blog in the year between my MA and PhD, so whatever year I am going into for the PhD, Shinpai is turning that number. 🙂 What a journey it’s been! It has been a struggle to keep things going during prelims and research abroad, but I have had immense support from regular and guest contributors, and all the followers via email, Facebook, and Twitter. I hope What Can I Do with a BA in Japanese Studies? continues to flourish and be a helpful resource for any and everyone pursing Japanese, be it in academia, translation, government, or whatever other path you’ve found. As always, thank you for your support and I welcome your suggestions in the future for how we can help serve the Japanese-speaking community best! Here’s to many more years to come!
