Just a thought on Education.

Hi.
I was just thinking about what could be the best courses to take to better your children's chances of getting hired, and to me the greatest resource, and commodity is language.
I mean if a young person can learn up to, and above 4 different languages (other than their mother tongue) than I would suspect that any employer who see's that the the person before them can speak several languages will definitely be placed ahead of the rest too be hired (regardless of their education). The company can always train them, and to have someone on your staff who can speak several languages is a definite high-end bonus to any company. I do know that government's are always looking for translators, and if you can't find work in your country, I know other countries will always hire you simply because of how many languages you speak, so there will always be decent solid work.
So I guess starting your children out on learning other languages could be something that parents today could consider.
Just a thought!
