Knowing another language can really help you when getting a job, especially at a place that works internationally.

Nah. I take Italian and people tell me all the time it's useless, but even if I don't go to Italy I still enjoy the language, and I've met a few people here and there who were fluent and it was nice being able to say a few things to them in Italian.

That's like saying learning to drive is only useful if you have a car of your own.

You can't say that, because you obviously don't know what you will and won't need to know in the future. You might be surprised. The pursuit of knowledge is never pointless.

I think the OP means in comparison to other languages that are spoken fluently in several countries like spanish and french.

Fair enough, I'm just saying if you're trying to learn the most PRACTICAL language, French isn't the best either

Yeah! I try to tell this to my English teacher all the time. It's like I'm not fucking going to England so why do I have to learn about Charles Dickens!
