I was a French major at Skidmore, class of 1993 and recently moved back to California after having lived in Washington, DC for a few years.  My husband and I were married last year in France and my foreign languages experience at Skidmore greatly contributed to my interest and love of France and other cultures. 
I'm currently not working, but I use my French regularly keeping in touch with friends in France and participating in French events wherever I am living.  After finishing my BA in French from Skidmore, I did use my French degree by moving to France where I worked in a 12th century chateau as a tour guide giving tours in French and English and managing the chateau's bookstore.  It was a great experience and learned a lot from living abroad.
