Why Learn German?
Isn't Spanish more useful??
"In American context, the more important factor is probably supply, not demand, of speakers of a given language. Non-Latino Americans might study Spanish because they hear and see so much of it spoken in their country. But that might be the best reason not to study the language, from a purely economic point of view. It is better to learn a language in high demand, but short supply. The drop-off in recent years in the American study of German might be another reason for young people to hit the Bücher." (See article linked above for more information)
What is it worth to learn German?
"Humans are famously bad at weighing the future against the present, but if you dangled even a post-dated $128,000 check in front of the average 14-year-old, Goethe and Schiller would be hotter than Facebook."
