Opportunities for Spanish speakers
abound in translating, interpretation, business, medicine, finance, ministry,
social work, and law.  Spanish language teachers are always in demand.  Latinos represent the United States' largest
minority; the emerging Latino population makes students’ knowledge of culture especially relevant.  A major or minor in Spanish is a useful complement to a
major in any field.
