What kinds of job opportunities are available for a person with language skills beyond just the required 3-semester proficiency level?
There are so many advantages to foreign language study: e-mail people around the globe, speak with more ease to those in one’s profession or community who speak another language, apply the skills from learning one language to learning another one or more, keep up with peers from many countries where several languages are required in their education, prepare for a position in a company where verbal or written translation may be of importance, travel to countries where the language(s) you’ve learned are spoken, work with business documents where a knowledge of another language facilitates transactions, go on to graduate school where foreign languages are required, and so on.
