Dilemma, Thoughts/Advice (language majors?)

[Ibanez]

Ok, went to school A got 24 credits. I'm not going there as of now and stopped to save up money to finish General elective credits at a local community college. The transfer to the CC is aimed to increase the gpa and get at least 30 for credit transfer.

Ok, transferring to school B will be for a Russian Major. However, since there might be a year gap, one semester off to work and one at CC, I will hopefully be able to get to an intermediate level and get out of 12 credits, best case scenario. I also find out that I will need to also demonstrate proficiency in a second language either through testing or up to intermediate courses. Again it would be nice to work on a language and opt out of that also, but depending how my russian progress is I'll have to see.

But I know that language knowledge alone might not be enough to secure a position. So I was thinking it would be best to get a double major or just minor in another field? This is were I need some advice from any language majors, but I guess others can offer their input too.

For now...

It might be worth contacting the department and asking them for examples of jobs you could get. Or for lists of alumni and where they ended up.

I already know some of the potential careers.

I guess I'm just wondering, what is more effective a double major or a major and two minors? I guess I'm skeptical about the abilities of the minors to get me into the fields at all.

I realize that I should talk to an advisor about this, which I plan to after I go back to college.

Although, I do realize that the future is rather unpredictable and that I might be in a completely different field from now 10 years done the road.
