3.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty decent book, but...,
By Angela "Love to learn languages" (Pacifica, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Jobs for Foreign Language Majors (Paperback)
This is a fairly decent book which covers a lot of possiblities for people with a degree in foreign languages. However, the sad truth is that there are not all that many career opportunities for linguists who have not developed a strong (preferrably scientific or technical) second skill. American companies tend to take their linguists for granted, but hopefully this situation will change as more linguists make their way into possitions of authority. For what careers ARE out there this book is fabulous.
