I am not a Russian nor do I have Russian descent, I am taking it for college to get my B.A.
I am wondering what sort of jobs people would want people who speak Russian and English for.

One can certainly be a translator or an interpreter. Most translation companies prefer translators who translate into their native language and while there are many native Russians translating into Russian, there is always a high demand for English natives. This kind of job also includes proofreading, editing, localizing, etc.
If you are of technical major, e.g. an engineer, then international companies with offices both in the US and Russia will be happy to hire you. For example, Siemens is working on a big Russian project at the moment and they are in need of technical personnel with some knowledge of the Russian Language.
One can always work for the government as an analyst or an agent or become a military linguist.
There is the whole world of opportunities, just do a little research.
You could translate but most people would probobly prefer natively speaking russians. You could also be a Russian teacher!
Tour guide is the first thing that comes to mind… International dating has become very prominent in Russian-speaking countries, and typically there as obligatory visits by Americans to the Russian-speaking country to meet the girl. During these visits, a translator is generally necessary for the dating, and also as a general tour guide for the American visitor.
Well, that’s one option.
Another thing to consider would be any kind of professional work (depending on your degree) that had to be done in heavily Russian areas of the US, such as Brighton Beach in New York. There are large Russian communities in most major cities, and these people need access to professional services too. (Lawyers, Dentists, Doctors, etc)
