You fluent in Cantonese? I applied to teach English in Spain this summer, they said it didn't matter but my Spanish is elementary and that's being generous.

Nah.  I'm decent though.  Actually, a big part of the reason i'm trying to go there is to step my Cantonese up.

I'll be graduating with a Econ degree with a minor in Sociology and Business.

Pops wants to groom me to take over his accounting business so I'm going to take some more accounting classes and a tax prep course and see how that works out for the next year. I'm really considering law or grad school but I feel like I have an obligation to the family being the last child (chance) to keep the business in the family, so I'm looking at a year or two with my dad while working towards Law School & CPA so no long paper for a good 5-6 years.

Essentially like creating your own major.

gonna be difficult landing a job with your degree

I'm not too worried about it.  I'm confident in my abilities and in the field I'm looking to go into it is really all about connections.  I see my self becoming an entrepreneur more than anything.

I'm also going to be taking the GMAT next year and apply for a MBA in Business Administration if I think it will help me out.

I really just want to get some sort of paid internship to save up money and get experience until this business takes off.  We won't forget about #NT though we'll be giving back!

I'm trying to decide whether I want to actually use my degree and become a design engineer or whether I'd rather travel to a different country and teach English.

My advice to college grads would be to live at home for a year and save money if at all possible with your job. If you still want to go out and party you can always crash at a friends place or go back to campus for a weekend for football games or something.

I didn't do this and would definitely have a lot more money saved up if I did. Paying about $650 to $700 a month for rent, utilities, internet, and power adds up quick.
