Ms. Buckmaster:

Most jobs require not only certain levels of proficiency in Arabic but
also some knowledge and expertise in another field. Apart from the
teaching and research positions in academia and innumerable jobs in the
US Government (foreign service officer, development program officer,
intelligence analyst, government relations specialist, translator or
interpreter, etc.), in the communications field one might become a
foreign correspondent, reporter, or translator, in the international
finance field an international banker, international consultant, or
political risk analyst, in industry the manager of government relations
for an oil company or a market analyst for an export company, and in the
field of law a contractual and corporative consultant. These are just a
few of the jobs where Arabic language and culture skills can be a very
important factor. Hang in there!
