Question Posted Friday October 29 2004, 8:52 pm

I am a major in French Spanish and English in my high school. I want to take that farther. What kind of jobs are offered that pay well to people who speak languages really well? What colleges offer such a thing?

I don't know about the colleges.. but to for jobs.. i know a translator pays REALLY good..(not sure if thats actually what they're called)

All they do.. is sit in on like meetings.. or something like that..and they translate the English into Spanish/French and then the Spanish/French back into English.. as its spoken...

I think thats all they do.. U might look it up.. thats always a good idea..

Hope I helped

Firstly, translators DO NOT make a lot of money. Pay should not matter if this is what you love and want to do. My mother is a translator for the local health department. She enjoys counceling refugees. She gets paid crap and works with horrible people, but she's doing what she loves so it does not matter to her.

Translators make a shitload of money and basically choose their own hours...

Many colleges and universities have linguistics departments. You can major in a language. Jobs include teaching, interpreting, and government and corporate jobs that involve interacting with foreign countries. There is lots of opportunity for people who are very good at linguistics.
