So i already speak English (as native im from the US) and Spanish (through school and foreign exchanges) fluently. I also speak a bit of both French and Italian. My question is, as i go into college year after next, which language(s) should i focus on? I plan on definitely learning french fluently and hopefully italian if i have the time, but in college I would like to focus on a harder language. I am thinking either Arabic, Russian, or Mandarin Chinese. I realize that with Mandarin I would have a lot of business opportunities, with Arabic I could work for the government, and Russian is more of a hybrid of the two (you could do business or government work). At some point, I definitely plan on learning at least two of those languages, but for now which should i focus on? Also, if you have any other languages that you think could be useful to me, feel free to suggest them.
P.S.- I am open to lots of different careers seeing as I am only seventeen, so include some career options with languages if you can. Thanks!
