Is finding a job with languages hard or easy?

Hi, after school I was thinking of doing german and spanish in college in a joint four year course. I like languages a lot and thought this course sounded awesome. But now I'm thinking, what job could I actually get with languages? The course doesn't include business or law or anything else. Would I be able to find a job afterward, and how hard would it be? Sorry, don't really know where else to ask. Thanks.

    Language skills definitely are more marketable in combination with other skills. There are simply more bi- or multilingual people than there are jobs needing them.

    If you are willing to continue your studies, an advanced degree (preferably a doctorate) can open up a lot more opportunities that a bachelors degree - particularly if you would enjoy a career in academia.

    Good luck
