Mandarin is major, that's why China has some more subjects related to it.
I also like China, but Japan is my love.
 
Sorry, I just had that in a document P:
And sorry once more since I did not made the title very clear, it is:

Possible Careers?
 
If you are over a year removed from graduating high school and already have all of your college courses picked in advance, shouldn't you already know what kind of careers that would make available to you?

If not, maybe you should start thinking about what you might want to do after school rather than asking others what the classes you have already decided will limit you to.

I have an idea yes, but wanted to see what some more experienced people had to say and to suggest. I would like to be a tranlator or interpreter (portuguese japanese and chinese), working at some embassy (of a portuguese speaking country) would also be good. I know there are other jobs, and I would like to know which.
Other thing I love is Soccer, I will try to play it at the college team (if there's one), I would be cool to have a job related to it.

Thanks.
 
Translators are highly trained and experienced, unlike most college graduates.
Embassies have their own requirements. Look at them.

Otherwise you seem to have such a generic humanities degree that it's not going to be easy to pin down any specific job. Whatever it'll be, expect it to be equally generic and low level.
