[quote=Anonymous]Spanish, French, Chinese or Japanese? Assume child A is likely to gravitate toward engineering or computer programming. Assume child B is likely to gravitate toward humanities (especially writing), but not in an outgoing-kind-of-way. I had always assumed I'd encourage Spanish b/c of how valuable it would be as the Latino population increases. But... I wasn't really thinking that Japanese or Chinese were options (found out they are). I can also see how Chinese or Japanese could be very useful in a global marketplace. So, which would you encourage your children to pursue? (yes, I realize they have a voice too. Just wondering about my position.)[/quote]
