how realistic is to major in multiple languages?

<p>im taking french right now and im still in high school. i plan to continue this in college...and i want to be either a doctor or work for the UN...possibly be a lawyer and then a judge as well...whatever...</p>

<p>my question is...how realistic is to to take maybe two or three languages in college? and what languages are good to learn for what i might want to do when i get oldeR?</p>

<p>For medicine, Spanish is useful. I'm planning on becoming a doctor, and will be taking Japanese just for fun. I also know French, but feel that I'm at a level that I need more practice rather than instruction.</p>

<p>My Spanish teacher went to Middlebury where she double majored in Spanish and French. She's now fluent in both so it is feasible.</p>

<p>middlebury is a known for its langauges, but 3 even there would be impossible, so probably 2 at the most</p>

<p>It's MUCH better for your future to major in a language you really like and in something else entirely unrelated to your language interests if you want to double-major. I say this as a foreign language major: get the other major too. You may want to choose the other major for its job market relevance--even if you don't like that major much, it will help a LOT to get your work in which you can actually use your language. There is very little work that pays well in the United States for pure-play language majors.</p>
