russian is in demand (otago etc)

[Jessica Natale]

I truly think it is a sad thing that apparently some of you are not aware of
the benefits of Russian. One can use their Russian in any field, it adds
lustre and versatility to anyone's resume and I always receive a great deal
of amazement and praise when one finds out that I know Russian. I am offended
that someone (I will not name names) said that my argument is the "thats the
way it is" cliche..Check out any webpage of a major university and you will
see a page devoted to the graduates of Russian and the marvelous things you
can do with Russian. It takes creativity and imagination to make any major
into a lifelong  career.

Please stop sending me negative mail about the absence of careers in Russian
language skills.
