I really like languages, and I am starting to think about jobs. Are there any jobs that deal with languages and have a high income? It doesn't really matter what the language is. I just want to know the job and the income. Thanks!

French or German might not open too many doors -- those countries have been dealing with England and America for so long that most everyone there speaks English. Yeah, it's nice to impress them by knowing their language, but it doesn't really get you far. Good languages to know for international commerce today: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian. These are all major international commerce partners, and their industry leaders have not yet all learned English, so if you can communicate in their language, you're a step ahead!

If you're dead set on a high income, then don't aim to be a professional linguist. Look rather at a career in business or finance where you can use your languages as a tool. Think of money broking, banking, financial journalism, insurance. The ideal degree for you would be a hybrid one -- business studies with languages, a bilingual law degree, where you qualify in two jurisdictions at once, etc. etc. And be warned -- a high income comes with hard work -- and often a great deal of unpaid overtime.

Go to law school and choose international business transactions as your specialty. Law degree plus a knowledge of a few different languages equals BIG BUCKS!!!
