Individuals who are skilled in more than one language
are at a high advantage in today's job market. Specializing
in a foreign language requires knowledge of the literature,
the culture, and the historical development of the country
in which the language is used. Other than positions in
translating, interpreting, or teaching, the skill of knowledge
in more than one language is seen as a secondary skill.
