[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The point was will I get paid a lot more for knowing Spanish? No, even if I were to change my profession. Some people really take things so personally. I’m seriously only wondering why DC parents literally go crazy for dual language! [/quote] I don't even know why I'm bothering jumping in on this bc OP seems to just be bored and kind of trying to stoke the fire at a time of heightened anxiety for parents with kids entering the lottery, but FWIW there are lots of jobs where being bilingual English/Spanish pays more and opens up opportunities. I'm in healthcare. It's a premium. As if making more money is the only value added of learning another language that a large portion of your population speaks...but you can't really argue that it isn't valuable in business in the US. Not everybody is going into trade opportunities with China, OP [/quote]
