If there's one thing in life that's basically unavoidable, it's getting a job. Your hobbies and skills can be used for a job, and as you could have guessed, it's french we're talking about.
Learning any language just in general can help you with finding jobs, majority of these jobs are relatively easy to do but I wouldn't really pick any of them and I would rather have it as a last resort UNLESS you are going to France because of a job that's far more superior to that of here in Canada.
The upsides to being a human translator is that obviously you know multiple languages. You're also able to now technically become a tour guide for people in France (specifically Paris) because of how popular of a tourist attraction is, but you do also need to know how to navigate Paris, how to manage time well and more.
Being a human translator is also not very difficult so if you're looking for a job that's easy, you might want to be a human translator but take it with a grain of salt
Also it looks good on your resume that you've learned so many languages
Downside is that there isn't many other applications for being human translator unless if you're stuck on an island with french and english speaking people. You also spend a lot of time trying to learn the language(s) in the first place but an upside is that you can technically learn a new language at any time and technically qualify
The upsides to being a French teacher is that there isn't many French teachers in highschools which means being a french teacher isn't too competitive. Like I said, another upside is that it isn't very competitive (excluding Quebec), but the downside is that learning French isn't very popular even in Canada which means they're not going to pay you as much as other profesions
Being a french tutor has the most upsides out of any of them. Firstly, you don't need any bachelors degree to do it, as long as you're fluent in french then you're ready. Second of all, you can do the lessons without needing to leave your home. Thirdly, You're able to do the lessons at any pace you feel like, professionally or casually. And finally, you can change how much you earn by raising the price per lesson. BUT there is ONE major downside to all of these, and it's that no one really needs French tutoring because of how it's only limited to just Canada and parts of Europe, and about a third of people who speak french also know how to speak english, and nowadays you've got language learning apps and school to help you with learning it too, BUT it can be done as a side hustle since setting up the lessons barely takes any effort so I think it's worth a shot
