Knowing more than one language is always a good thing, IMO.

Knowing more languages will give you more options in life, whether personally, socially or professionally.

A friend of mine from law school landed an amazing job with a law firm in Miami practicing international trade law because he is originally from Brazil and speaks Spanish and Portugese. We went to the same law school and had more or less the same qualifications, but that job was not open to me because I didn’t speak the required languages.
