Options with a BA in Japanese?

What are my options with a BA in Japanese? I’m a senior in university, graduating very soon with a BA in Japanese. There are career paths such as interpreters, translators, and teachers, but I want to know if there are more careers for those like me who have no idea what to do with their degree.

How much would college in a foreign country affect my academics?

I had a friend who was a foreign-exchange student in my high school and I would love to go to college in her country. Their culture and customs are very intriguing to me and I would love to have firsthand experience but wouldn't want to if I would have too many issues learning. I would be going to Norway. #foreign-exchange #foreign-languages #environmental-science

Can I still become a Spanish teacher if I have a non-education Spanish degree in addition to a Music Education degree?

I want to know if I can lessen my course load. If I can use the education part of my Bachelors of Music and apply it to my Spanish degree, then that would do that. #foreign-languages #education #music-education #spanishmajor #spanish-education #dualmajor

Technology, International, French language, where does it all fit together?

I have only ever worked in the IT field since I was in High school. I am getting an international degree with a focus in MIS Global IT leadership and Management. I learned intermediate level French in France and Canada. I can finish my degree in December; or I can postpone it a semester and go back to France to learn more French. I am still feeling lost on where I can go from here. the world is in a chaotic state right now and I could just spend the next few years abroad doing my own thing; learning a new language. or I could take advantage and try to set myself up for the future. but I'm not sure where I want to work, or what specifically I want to do. I want to do something abroad; I love interacting with new people, new cultures, and learning new things. Are there any industries/countries that are starting to surface that you're seeing; that would be worth taking a look into? #technology #international #foreign-Languages #business #grad #postgrad #help #thinkTank #abroad

Is the knowledge of foreign languages beneficial in obtaining a higher-paying job, most especially in accounting, and which languages would be most beneficial to know?

I am currently a rising high school senior, and I am still trying to review the best options of study for a successful career. I believe that I may want to study to be an accountant, but I also love foreign languages and working with those people with different cultural and language backgrounds. With our increasingly global market, I figured it would be a very wise decision to learn many languages, but I do not know which languages would be most beneficial to learn. #accounting #foreign-languages #linguistics

I am studying abroad this summer in Valencia, Spain and was wondering what are some of the best ways to integrate myself into the culture?

I want to get the most out of studying abroad because it is a once in a lifetime opportunity. However, I am nervous that I am going to be too shy to talk to the people there. #Spain #study-abroad #foreign-languages

How can I combine a love for learning languages, art, and possibly medecine into a career?

Hi! My name is Zoe and I am a senior in high school, so I am starting to consider job options and colleges.

What colleges offer anti-human trafficking courses or I guess degrees?

I'm a high school student currently and already know I want to put my life on the line in different developing countries and stop human trafficking. I want to go to college and be able to directly progress in this field but have no idea what colleges offer the best programs for prepping to be in this field one day. They all always make it sound like they are well-rounded in every field but I want to know colleges who have well-developed, strong classes pertaining to human trafficking. Any information anyone can give me would make me very appreciative #human-trafficking #college #college-majors #foreign-countries #foreign-languages #foreign #save-children #college-courses

Exploring interests in college, how do I choose classes?

I'm a high school senior who has interest in multiple fields for college. One thing I'm looking at is engineering school. I know a lot of colleges have separate GEs or core requirements for engineering majors but I would still like to explore other subjects such as foreign language and music. How would I go about this in college and when choosing classes? #engineering #college-advice #college-major #college #foreign-languages #engineer #music #college-majors

What languages should I learn next?

I'm aware that knowing more than one language can get you unique opportunities, my mother language is Portuguese and I also speak English. I was wondering what language should I learn now. I thought about French since I'm living in Canada, but German is another language that people say it's important to learn.

Will these college classes work during admissions?

In my high school it is not required to take a foreign language class to graduate, so as I am ending my junior year I have never taken any. Unfortunately, most colleges I want to apply to require two years of a foreign language to apply. There is a dual credit program between my high school and a local community college. At the community college they have both a French 1 and French 2 course. The only issue is, they cram it in and each course is only a semester long. Will this work as the two-year requirement for admissions since it two levels of the language or am I out of luck? As a senior next year, is there anything I can do to get these two years? #college-admissions #requirements #foreign-languages
