Learning a second language can greatly improve your job prospects, largely regardless of your job’s sector. Leaving beside working as a translator, which is a very good job, demonstrating a passable ability in a second, or third language can help to improve your value to an employer. For instance, if you work in a trading company, one which only rarely trades with foreign countries, largely due to a language barrier, your second language may suddenly open up a new market for your business to trade in, where they would have had far greater difficulty with otherwise. Learning a second language has been made considerably easier than it used to be, with the options to learn by speaking with a language package, like Rosetta Stone, as well as by communicating through the internet with tutors. Taking the time to learn a second language can be great for your business opportunities, but it can also add value to your personal life, and is scientifically proven to increase your intelligence.
