One of the advantages of being multilingual is that your asset is your mind, so many job opportunities (assuming you want them) end up being as flexible as you are. Take translation, for instance. While the average workload might veer more towards real estate contracts than film scripts, you can do your job anywhere, even on the beach. That makes up for a lot of party-of-the-first-part bits.

And on the subject of translation, doing a really top-notch job requires settling yourself down somewhere comfortable, such as a nice cafe. And then you'll need your laptop, and wireless Internet access. See where we're going here? This may only be an elementary podcast, but we're keeping our eye on the ball: with fluency comes freedom.
