Can anyone give me some ideas about great careers using French?

I have a Bachelor's in French and International Relations. I am very well traveled (mostly throughout Europe) I have worked as a French teacher two years (2002-2004). I am definitely NOT a teacher, though I am grateful to those who love it and enjoy it. I am currently working for a great non-profit agency but would love to use my outstanding French for a living as well.


I have lived in Paris (just returned this year) am contacting different international agencies here in D.C. but so far, nothing. Any other places I should look? I thought of tutoring this coming Fall to earn extra money on the side, highschool students, etc.





Any other suggestions anyone?


P.S. I am also fluent in Swedish.

Can anyone give me some ideas about great careers using French?

Reply:It depends on where you live, but you could be a court interpreter and get licensed for both languages, working free-lance where you can set your own fees. You may need to move to areas where French and Swedish are spoken. I know a court interpreter who charges $119.00 an hour for her services interpreting in the court room. I don't know what state you live in, but you can check with your state capital to find out what qualifications are necessary. Je'espere que vous ave bon chance. Auvoir. (I hope I spelled that correctly)
Reply:Best would be to work for the EU. They need intelligent people who are fluent in several languages. You could also work for an international law firm. Translators are needed, of course. Maybe get a job as a news correspondent? I wish I had such a problem!
Reply:You can be a Teacher that teaches French or you could be a Translator.
Reply:The international IMPORTERS/EXPORTERS always require such talent....esspecialy in an english or other speaking country/nation....including the technical aspects....(Local comp.'s and office employment...)....as well as newspapers....private tudors in the french language for those who fail and the differances between FRANCE FRENCH....QUEBEC FRENCH...DOWN-EAST FRENCH ( ACADIAN )...ETC.....but interperters are always scarce as are secutaries to transcribe....
