Congrats on your presentation. I just wanted to ask you a brief question. I am currently a philologist and I have been worked as a translator for the last 8 years. I was thinking about taking a master's degree on forensic linguistics. do you tink that this is a good idea? Will it add something interesting on my resume, on my formation, or do yoy think that there are better options in order to become a lawyer-linguist?
