How much more money would I make if I learned a foreign language or 2?
I can Speak, Write, and Read in both English and Spanish perfectly well. However, I have been very interested in learning a foreign language. I am currently studying Japanese, I have just completed my Japanese 101 class not too long ago in college, and I look forward to be able to go to Japan and speak to people there. I hope in 6 years that I can be fluent just like a normal everyday Japanese person....I have also been interested in learning Mandarin Chinese and Korean, but maybe I shouldn't get into it that much....I do however hope to also learn how to read and write Traditional Chinese..... my question is...how much more money will someone make if he/she speaks 2 or more languages? what about 3? 4? It's okay even an estimate is fine.... what is an estimate?

There are some jobs that require a specific language ability, but the way you have to approach it is that in many cases knowing foreign languages will get you a job over someone who only knows one. SO it becomes job versus no job and that's hard to put a monetary value on.
