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?
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..

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. [ Moop's advice column | Ask Moop A Question ]

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.
