Jobs that utilize these skills and interests? (Read the details!!!!)?

I am 23 years old. I am close to getting a degree, but I am not sure that it is what I want to do anymore. There are two things I am interested in. I want to know what kind of jobs I might be able to get if I return to school for a Bachelor's or Master's Degree in either one of these areas.

1. Foreign Language - I have an interest in learning languages. I am fluent in English. I have taken Spanish, but I forgot most of it. I could pick it back up again very quickly. I have taken Japanese. I forgot some of it, but I retained much more than Spanish. Again, I could begin learning again and pick it up in no time. I also know at least a few words or phrases in at least 4 or 5 other languages. I have an interest in other languages, because often you learn of other cultures and histories while studying a foreign language. Also, the more languages you can speak, the more people you can befriend and understand culturally. That is what I believe. I want to know what kind of jobs would be available to a person that could competently speak about 3-5 languages.

2. History. I have a passion for ancient history that has lasted throughout my adulthood. Almost all history fascinates me. Other countries' histories. American history. I believe that the more we understand and appreciate the past...the less likely we are to repeat its mistakes in the future. I want to know what a person specializing in the study of history could do for a living, besides teaching.

In these two disciplines, what kind of careers could I expect to be eligible for.

    frequently, writing that contains 1's very own opinions would not exist as a job. that does no longer mean that it can not be finished, however the tactic is comparable to in writing fiction - you write something (or a synopsis of it) then attempt to pastime a writer in publishing it. the priority is that the writer is in all probability to be drawn on your opinion in direct share to how common you're as an expert in that field. while you're an eminent scientist, your opinion would be seen of pastime on a great array of matters - somebody unknown, with basically a school degree, isn't vulnerable to entice interest, in spite of how unique their concepts are (regrettably). I relatively have 2 obtainable techniques: initially, have you ever seen scientific journalism? What could be needed from you right here does no longer be unique concepts, however the potential to place across new scientific concepts to a great, and not inevitably technically-minded, aim audience. in spite of the undeniable fact that, in case you outfitted up a recognition in this field, this could lead on on finally on your having adequate authority on your guy or woman opinions to become of pastime, in the way you prefer. the alternative could be to evaluate writing technology fiction. traditionally technology fiction has been used as a medium to place across new innovations and ideas. in case you may weave your concepts right into a narrative this is appealing adequate that it attracts interest, then that could desire to be an efficient approach of having your concepts in the time of. in spite of the undeniable fact that, writing as a occupation is an extremely intense-danger occupation. i could strongly advise which you write on your spare time and save on with yet another occupation course to make a residing - a minimum of till you have your first e book revealed.
