Hi. I'm now doing a training for being an administrative assistant for foreign languages. Now I slowly have to think about where to work afterwards. With this training which my school provides, you do not exactly have to do this job only. For example, you could do other jobs related to languages which you don't have to study for. Personally I do not want to spend all my life in an office, typing business letters in German, English, French and Spanish. I'd like to do more things with travelling. Anyone has any ideas for me?

how about interpreting or working as an international personal assistant ect I should imagine languages would be crucial...

Thing is: I have no lizence to go to university, so it has to be something where you don't have to study for. Maybe some kind of interpreting is without studying, but I haven't heard of that yet.

you could try distance learning, its harder without the close support, but worth it, if you get what you desire

Hmm, why can't you go to university inez? If you become really good at one or more languages, yes, interpreting is good, working for a travel agency, may be stationed in a country or some sort of a guide that can help out with interpreting and dealing with issues that come up regarding hotels etc might be another thing, sort of like a tour guide but dealing more with the problems is another possibility. There's definitely a lot of languages out there and knowing German and English as well as you do e.g.is already a ticket to some good jobs I would imagine.
good luck
cheers

I haven't got the qualification for university. I should have made an exam before that. And, can I do distance learning without going to university?
