Well I've just discovered what I want to study when i'm in college and that's foreign language. I want to further my studies in Korean and Spanish and possibly take up Japanese.

Can anyone tell me what kind of career choices I have in foreign language, besides teaching?

It would be much appreciated.

hm international business? translator?

[ddonq]

international business.
thats what i wanna major in...

[dahanizzle]

Translator?...

If i were you, I'd try really hard to take CHinese (mandarin) b/c as you most likely know, China is becoming an economic powerhouse and it'd be really good to have some knowledge of their language under your belt along with the languages you already are planning to take.

I'm korean so i can speak a bit lol idk about spanish but for japanese (i take it in school) It's SUPER easy b/c the grammar is the same as korean and some words are similar. Also, the letters (hiragana, katakana) are easy but kanji is..hard. (kanji = chinese characters)

BUT. if you take chinese and japanese, japanese will be hecka easy b/c you use so many chinese characters. AH, see, everyhting ties together

ok, i wrote too much -.-;; GL.

international business, international relations, if you like science, maybe something at in international health organization. and of course, the translator/interpreter stuff.

International Affairs (what I plan to study, haha), International Business.... I know the CIA is looking for people who are fluent in the critical languages (Arabic, Chinese, Korean, etc).

What are you interested in, in general? You can always move to that country & work a regular job there while using your language skills.

Hm, I researched this a while ago. In my interest, I prefer teaching.

But being in International Business sounds pretty good. You can be a historian, etc.
However, I'm learning a language to LIVE in that certain country for a little while.

So if you're learning the language to live there, then you could basically do anything if you double majored with something you really like. For instance, I hope to double major in Asian Languages and Literatures as well as English. And for English, I prefer the creative side so I'm looking forward to being a dorked-out Korean drama/movie scriptwriter. ROFL.

Yup, that's about it.

since most of you are suggesting international business and international affairs, can someone tell me exactly what they do?

Hahaha. Maybe I can be like in the movie Daisy with Jeon Ji-Hyun... Go to another country and work undercover for the government. That'd be awesome, more exciting than an office job, but really hard to get

International Affairs, thats what I've been really interested in.

Anyone know about the money wise? Im just wondering.
