First step would be to look at university prospectuses to see whats on offer for languages.  These may also have profiles of previous students and what career they have taken and what careers are available for someone with that degree.  You can also access info online:

1 very obvious idea would be to work as a translator, but you will need some other skills depending on who you were translating for (e.g. import/export companies, international aid agencies etc etc)
