I am looking to go to college and get degrees in German and Russian (possibly master’s degrees). I was wondering what are the realistic employment opprutunites and what their salaries are?

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.
