Being a foreign language/anthropology major

College Majors
1

<p>I'm extremely unsure of what I'd like to major in in college, even though I still have a considerable amount of time before I have to really decide. Lately, I've been thinking that cultural anthropology really sparks my interest, however, with all the research I've done, it seems that there is very little you can really do with a degree or even PhD in anthropology. </p>

<p>I'd also really like to either double major or minor in a foreign language, which seems equally tough to utilize unless I'd like to become a teacher or a government employee. I currently take Italian, and I could also see myself having a serious interest in learning Japanese, German, or even Spanish. After college, what can I really do with a degree in either area?</p>

<p>Knowing another language makes you an extremely sought after candidate for most jobs. Teachers in California earn an extra $1000 a month on average for being bilingual.</p>

<p>Learning language goes hand in hand with Anthropology. Although I struggle deeply with learning other languages, I am trying my hardest to learn Spanish, and have considered a minor in the language. </p>

<p>If you can speak and understand more than one language, plus with a a degree based on Human cultures and interactions, I imagine you will not have too much trouble finding a good job. The private sector too, especially as we are becoming more of a global economy, will make these skills useful in job recruitment.</p>
