Good major to go with Spanish?

Question

I know I want to major in Spanish when I go to college. I want to speak it as a 2nd language. What would be a good major to go along with it? I want a job where I would work with people everyday, and I want to be able to put knowing Spanish to use a lot. I also love working with kids, but want a decent salary. Any ideas of some jobs for me?

Answer 1

An ESL teacher makes decent money these days.  If you are fluent in spanish, there are school districts that will take you on as a teacher while you get certified.  Add special education to that, and you can start in the high 40Ks for a salary.  Social work is another good area but requires a masters degree.
