Also this would involve talking to hundreds of random people I don't know, again I'm tired of dealing with the public. I don't mind dealing with coworkers, just not the public.
Languages are IN DEMAND! As someone in health care & community work, I can tell you there is a great need for translators, ESL teachers,
and-----this could bring you work in another country even....(I had a friend who ended up in a great position because he could travel, and spoke Hebrew, and the language of the Bedouins)
In my area Spanish is especially in demand, also all eastern european, african, and asian languages. A friend of mine works for an insurance company, handling all hispanic customers----I often see ads that request bilingual skills.
