Student Perspectives on Future Careers: What is the Role of Languages? A Romanian Case Study. This article explores language learner motivation among Romanian students studying Norwegian at bachelor level. The article focuses on the students’ views on career opportunities and on how their language skills can open possibilities for different kinds of language-related careers. Two cohorts of students were interviewed. The second cohort had experienced internships in international companies, which was reflected in the interviews of this group. The study adopts a plurilingual perspective with a focus on the role of English in Europe. The study provides insights into the labour market involving proficiency in minor languages and into the perspectives of students entering this job market with regard to job satisfaction.

Keywords: language learners, minor languages, motivation, career paths, job satisfaction.
