[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 The Common Data Set. A great resource. The point is to have the coursework to be successful in the desired college major. If a major is going to require extensive foreign language, it was available to the student in HS, and they didn't take it. Why not? A STEM or engineering major, isn't going to need much/any FL and it's ok if their HS record reflects that.[/quote]

For those of you that have kids just finishing college or finished in the last few years.. What's the practical value of a FL education?  How has that made a difference in their work lives or given them a leg up in getting a job?  [/quote]

I speak another language that is not Spanish. Doesn't do anything for me. It helps that I can speak to my family but that's it. When I visit my birth country I can speak to the people and order things, but that's as far as usefulness go. Job? No, doesn't help me there.

If you are talking monetary or job prospects, I can tell you that Spanish skills will give you a [b]very good advantage in fields like education and social services[/b]. In education especially, besides nepotism/favoritism, Spanish skills will set you far above the other candidates. Don't have to worry about finding a job. [/quote]

Thank you!  This is the kind of information I was looking for..[/quote]
