Your foreign language skill will have to be combined with other skills in order to be of real use to you in the job search. These other skills may be in teaching, translating, or interpreting, information technology, marketing, management, accounting, computer science, criminal justice, or any of many other fields.

An undergraduate degree in a foreign language, combined with a graduate degree in another area -- such as library science, social work, school counseling, community counseling,  international business, international law, or educational leadership, -- is a powerful career preparation.  Students often find it advantageous to spend a year or two after college working -- either in the United States or overseas -- before continuing with graduate studies.  A couple of years work in the Peace Corps may qualify you for scholarship to graduate school.  Any work overseas, teaching English as a second language, or working for a volunteer organization, will provide invaluable experience.
