Lara’s Answer

Hi Sofia, even though it was a while ago, I graduated in English and Spanish. I've always believed that language is a tool, not just the goal. A degree in languages can open doors in any field. I've worked in import-export, an international law firm, a security company, and now I’m in IT.

If you can, consider taking a marketing or economics course. It could make your degree even more valuable.

Hope this helps!

Nadya’s Answer

Hi Sofia! I agree with Laura that speaking different languages is a valuable skill in many fields. It really depends on how often you want to use it.

I minored in Spanish, and even though I don't use it daily as a technology consultant, it came in handy when I worked on a project with a team from Argentina and Mexico. Understanding Spanish helped me grasp their true opinions about the software we were implementing and build a better connection with my Spanish-speaking coworkers.

I also took a business Spanish course, which expanded my vocabulary for my career and taught me about work culture in Spain and Latin America. I recommend this if you're considering higher-level classes.

Learning Spanish, or any language, will definitely help you connect with more people, and I'm sure you'll find a job where you can use these skills!
