Hello:
I recently started taking American Sign Language classes at my local college, and was wondering if anyone has any insight as to whether this will be beneficial in my pursuit to getting hired. I understand that being bilingual is a huge advantage these days, and that there is a high demand for spanish speaking individuals, but I have heard very little about the demand for American Sign Language. My thinking is that it will make me stand out as a valuable asset to a department, because not very many people know ASL but we still respond to deaf patients who we need to communicate with. Any thoughts? Thanks
