Actually the key to your question is over "many."
I have spent many years of my life learning Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. (I have also learned how to read a few other languages, have taken a year of Arabic, learned basic turkish grammar etc.) However, what I have learned is that your career prospects are largely the same for knowing two languages as knowing 300. Knowing another language is very useful as it allows you to act as an in-between.
However, in general you can only act as one "in-between" at a time - and so you will rarely have need of more than one language in a job. Knowing multiple languages is very useful for research (can read most sources) and travel (nothing enhances travel like knowing the language).
