A more academic route would be to study linguistics and become a college professor.
You could also become a language teacher or maybe an au pair in a different country.
Please note the distinction between interpreters and translators. Interpreters translate orally, translators in writing. The former is better for people who can work well under pressure, are NOT perfectionists, are confident and are able to keep going. It also requires excellent powers of concentration.
Most of the demand for (written) translation is in technical subjects and law.
Make sure that you have at least 2-3 foreign languages, including one that isn't widely learned - say something like Bulgarian or Polish or Modern Greek. For translating you also need very good written English. (You just can't afford to be the sort of person who is confused about the meanings of 'allusion', 'illusion' and 'delusion'. :)
Incidentally, a degree in linguistics won't help you to 'use languages': it's the study of language in general, often at a very high level of abstraction.
ADDITIONSome of the German universities have excellent Interpreters' [and Translators'] Schools ("Dolmetscher-Institute") attached to them, for example, Heidelberg, Munich and the Universit�t des Saarlandes in Saarbr�cken. Entry is very competitive, but these places all have an excellent reputation.

Why is it important to speak foreign languages?
As the world is getting more and more connected, people are starting to learn more languages. Now that we have ways of international transportation, and more of our businesses are more involved with other countries, it only makes sense that we should learn more languages. After all, it's all the more easier to communicate with one another if we understand each other. Also, many jobs are in high demand of bilingual people. Tech Support, Teacher jobs, and jobs at Airports are jobs that may require being bilingual. Hope this helped!! :)
