Benefit of a language major?

<p>I was toying with the idea of just majoring in languages in college (Russian and Arabic). Would this be beneficial in the real world at all? more beneficial than more specific majors? I want to do business or politics</p>

<p>It really just depends on how much you actually take from the major(s). If you were to become fluent in Russian and Arabic, then of course it would be very useful. But with 4 years of study split between the two, that’s quite unlikely. I would focus on one and study abroad to try and attain fluency.</p>
