I don't know yet, but I fear what I do in University right now is a mistake. I don't really know what else to do so I'll stick to it until I find something better I guess. Maybe it's just fear and not a mistake at all.. Time will tell.
This may sound crazy, but throw in some Spanish classes. Hear me out. I'm not even talking about a minor -- just enough to be able to hire Spanish speaking people and communicate with them. If you finish with that BA, you could go a lot of different directions: running a small business, helping mom and pop joints stay above water as IT needs dominate their inventory control and lives, running a successful home business based on a future artistic endeavor, on and on. Spanish is coming up a lot more in small business America. Being bilingual means opening your business to a larger, family-oriented population that can hardly wait to tell others that you listen to them. Besides, honkies are fickle. Being able to work with customers and employees in both languages will give you a stable space for growth. Then you can have a mid-life crisis in a decade or two -- and take off to Mexico to visit former employees for a few months. Monolingualism is overrated. Small business is always underrated.
Yes, I totally agree. I might do that a bit later. I'm already pretty good with languages. I live in Quebec so i speak French. I speak Russian at home, took Italian classes in hight school ( I don't know why i didn't pick spanish) and I'm hoping i'll learn a bit of Polish this winter during my semester abroad. Spanish and German are next in my languages I should learn list. Skill-wise, i'm considering taking some photoshop classes, especially if I end up specializing in Marketing. We'll see. Thanks for the advise!
You're in Quebec and already bilingual? Alors, tabernak à la langue espagnole. You can already run thangs in at least 2.5 provinces. (Sorry, I have a weird obsession with Montreal, Quebec, and Quebecois French. You're basically living in my Valhalla. Quelques arpents de neige -- rabais! I'm sure you'd trade me for my West Hollywood apartment in a heart beat, but so would I.) Then again, Spanish is wicked easy if you already speak French. Mexican Spanish is fast but otherwise enunciated and useful. Pull down the telenovelas and it'll be like learning Joual from old issues of 7 Jours or Allo Police.
I'm from Utica, New York -- where death and pain reign supreme, so try the tomato pie and the pastries. I lived in Boston for a dozen years. I wanted to move to Montreal but I didn't have the skills for a work visa (just a degree in philosophy). Now I'm a senior tech support and Unix admin person, but I'd rather teach. I moved here two years ago with my now wife. She works at LACMA and I work from home. She speaks no French. She had to trust me while we were in Belgium for our honeymoon. The beer helped.
