I dont know many things but im good at languages (english and german). and im also interested in history. SO i would be interested doing job that would involve using languages. I would also wanted study Mass media communication but i was going through colleges that offer this subject but there is a test needed to do before they can take you in , the test involves to already have knowledge about this kind of stuff but i dont know this things because im at bilingual school (so the im primary learning languages)....what should i do then ?

Hi there! It is often a good idea, when choosing our academic subjects for further study, to 'play to our strengths'. In this case, your strength appears to be languages. Interest is essential to keep the motivation and momentum you need in further studies too. Is your interest in history strong enough to motivate you to make the extra effort? The goal of our academic study is to secure a job which interests us, and of course we'd like it to be well-paid too! I would probably suggest languages, with history a good choice if your interest in it is very great and you can see a career pathway that would call for it. Mass media communication covers a very wide area in today's world. But I would be inclined to say that many companies would have in-house training, and just a few 'specialists' which cover the particular areas of concern to them and their client/customer base. In effect, if they need high language skills they would be far more likely to recruit somebody who already has them and sort out the IT/coms competencies themselves than they would be to hire someone with academic qualifications in IT subjects and then try to teach them a whole language from the ground-up. Also, if you're going to be 'good at languages' then English is a good one to be good at! It remains THE language of trade and commerce. Quite probably because for quite a few hundreds of years the worlds leading economies have been firstly Great Britain and it's Empire, and later the United States, both of whom speak English.
