This isn't really meant to be argumentative, but why should I have to? I took French for 3 years in high school then minored in it in college because that's the language I WANTED to learn. It was one of the very few things I got to learn in college purely for pleasure and learning and not as some kind of "stepping stone" onto something else. In hindsight, Spanish would have been a more USEFUL language to have learned. But I didn't know back then what I would be getting myself into career-wise. And as for now trying to learn it? Please. If there's time left over in an 80-hour work week, the last thing I am doing is trying to learn another language...I do appreciate my sleep.
Anyway, this wasn't really directed at you. I'm just kind of venting because I've had other people say the same thing to me before, and I think it's unfair to expect everyone else (myself included) to conform when it's not they're problem in the first place.
