Will the Masters get you to where you want to be? Does the major really matter? For example: A MA or MBA in spanish, would that get you pretty much anywhere? Quick question.

Also... what about an interpreter in a hospital? I know they have a great need.

How do most companies expect you to be fluent in a language if you don't study int extensively?

I don't think so.

No because if you wanted to find work as an engineer you would need an engineering/Physics degree. With the type of major described in your question you could probably find work in business, schools, government, law (with further education), and a few other things I can't think of. So yes you could get very far and have many career oppurtunities but there will still be a limit.

If someone has a Master's in something very different from their under-grad degree, then I would pick the person with the similar degrees, if I was in charge of hiring. Why? because if they are similar, then you have built upon what you already learned, rather than just starting something new. However, the Masters in Spanish should give you the ability to teach everything you learned to get your Bachelors in Spanish!

Formal education is so highly overrated it is pathetic. I have a PhD in Molecular Biology and sell insulation for a living. I am much happier in sales as an independent contractor. I am also earning several times as much as I did in cancer research for a major pharmaceutical corporation. I am amazed at the lack of sales career education. This economy thrives on sales and will die without the skills of true professional salespeople.

A masters isn't a key that opens a magic door to any place you want to go. I certainly makes a difference what your major is--graduate school is different than undergrad. It doesn't make much difference what your bachelors is in, but grad school is an entirely different game.

certainly it matters what your major is even with a masters degree. would you hire someone with a masters degree in spanish if you wanted an MBA?
