Well Pardon me for my ignorance.
I am also sorry you are humorless.
I see now how serious the study of the so called Romance languages is. I can see where they are an absolute necessity to getting a good paying job.

Yes they are, if you want to be:
An Ambassador
Work for the State Department
Be an asset to a multi-national company
Work as a translator
Work as an interpretor
Be involved in negotiations with people of those cultures
Believe it or not, people of different nationalities think differently; one of the ways of learning how they think is to study their languages and literature - especially studying literature in the original language gives one insight into the values, mores and pre-conceptions of people born in Europe.
