Language students have the advantage not only of their ability to communicate in another language, but also of understanding and knowing how to work with cultural differences from other outset of their career.
It's possible to work as a journalist in Australia if you can't speak Spanish - but it's much more fun if you can. In a job where travel is everything, a second language not only gives you a foot in the door but provides all sorts of unexpected skills once you are working.
