Possible Job TitlesForeign
languages help prepare you to work in many types of jobs. For example, you
may want to major in a particular foreign language and become certified to
teach. This would enable you to take a job either teaching that foreign
language, teaching English as a foreign language, or teaching in a bilingual
setting. Combining languages with the study of business can help prepare the
student for jobs in foreign commerce, including banking, marketing,
import-export, purchasing, finance, advertising, consulting, etc. Included
among the numerous professions in which a knowledge of foreign languages can
be helpful are the following: government service, social work, architecture,
engineering, journalism, public relations, library service, archaeology,
philosophy, medicine, the travel industry, telecommunications, music,
theater, and research scholarship. |
