A friend of mine studied Arabic in college. This was pre-9/11 and done simply because he was intrigued by the culture. Eventually he decided that a job in the government as a translator or an expert in Arab culture might be up his alley.
9/11 changed everything of course...and now he's a hot commodity in the government. Which is great, but I haven't seen him in over 5 years, and don't know where he is, or what he's doing.
