Careers

Although some linguists will become translators, interpreters or teachers, the majority combine knowledge of a foreign language with other skills. Regarded by employers as both an academic skill and a desirable life skill, the ability to operate in a foreign language is highly sought after in all careers and will set a candidate above her peers.
