Quite. And the candidates’ comments in the Dem debate about the value of our children learning other languages are completely correct. As an employer, I’d love to be able to hire people for engineering and marketing position who also had language skills. The only problem is, Spanish is probably low down the list of languages I’d be looking for. French, German. Chinese even. Those would make more sense.

Right now, Spanish is probably the most sought-after language for job placement. "Bilingual" seems to be in a lot of job descriptions, they don't have to name the language. They want people who can do business with the "press 2 for Spanish" market.

I'm sure that Chinese will be a very sought-after language in the future. I took Spanish in high school and learned some Russian as an adult. I am considering learning a little Arabic, but it looks pretty difficult.
