    Why would you need to know Java and/or Perl in economics?

    If you have a degree in Economics, do you need to know Spanish?

    I really don't want to learn Spanish and the department says they haven't seen a call for more Spanish speaking graduates, but do I need to know it in the real world to get a job? I am planning on moving after I graduate because there is too much "must speak Spanish to apply" signs for my...
