I think Lothia is trying to say that if you major in something other than the language for your BA, you need a Masters degree in that language to get a job like working at the UN.

I took 4 years of undergrad Japanese though and I'm definitely not up to the level Lothia says one should be. We focused more on speaking than writing though, which I think is more practical anyway... My point is that even if you take 4 years of college level Japanese, you aren't necessarily at the level you might want to achieve. That being the case, it is reasonable to pursue a grad school with a good language program.
