Just because you have a degree in one field doesn't necessarily mean you must work with that the rest of your life. You choose humanities - liberal arts - because it's an interesting, broad educaiton that makes YOU an interesting person, not some kind of dairy-cow for corporatations and the IRS.
You go to college to make you mind an interesting place to live. You will, after all, be living there the rest of your life.
For technical skills, some people go to college for that. But for two-thirds of jobs out there, no technical skill is required. You learn what you need to learn DOING the job. That's how it works with most jobs. That said, you need to convince prospective employers you are the man for the job.
Your language skills can and should put you two steps ahead of everyone else. That you completed your degrees are also substantial achievements that prove you can do a job that takes more brain-power than a good part of the population can muster. For a good abroad strategy, identify 3-4 companies you want to work for, and then look at areas where there are openings, and/or departments where you know you can create value. To get an idea of how exactly you can create value, contact people on LinkedIn, call HR to ask what they're looking for right now, explain who you are, and ask what you can DO to make yourself a better match for them. There are a multitude of ways to approach this, it's just a question of good groundwork, and asking questions the answers to which tell you what you can do to get one step to closer to that job you're interested in.
Once inside the company, it's time to out-perform and over-perform and network. After two years you should have made enough good impressions to make a jump up the ladder.
