Has anyone else gone for a job, had the interview go exceedingly well, then, after all is said and done, they ask if your bilingual?   No mention of it being required or even desired in the ad.  Not to mention the dozens that ARE listed as bilingual only...isn't that discrimination? 

Obama included the fact that we all need to speak one language in several of his speeches, yet.....here I am, over fifty years old and starting a Rosetta Stone course, so I can get a job in my own country.   Rosetta Stone doesn't work for free either!  

Ok, my mini-rant is over.  *curtsies*

Businesses are going to have a hard time finding bilingual workers. College students are now being advised to get bachelor of science degrees and many are told graduates with bachelor of arts degrees (which require learning foreign languages) can't find decent jobs.
