Depends on your plans, and destinations.

English has become the international language for business relations, so if you go for a business career, you don't have a choice but learning it.
In most fields it is also the language of science and engineering, so you'll need it too for an academic or scientific career.
It is also usually spoken in touristy spots all over the world, and in some parts of Africa (mostly south and east).

Spanish would be extremely useful in Spain or Latin America obviously, but also in the US, as the Spanish-speakers are the fastest-growing community. It is not considered an international language for any topic.

French is spoken in quite a few countries as a first language, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxemburg and Canada, but also as a second language in many countries in Africa (Maghreb and West, mostly), in Romania, and it is not uncommon in the former Indochina (Vietnam, Lao and Cambodia).
French is also the international language of diplomacy and is one of the official languages of the UN.

definitely spanish and english. SPanish is spoken in South America (mostly) and in most of the islands in the greater antilles and around there. It's also spoken here in the U.S. English is spoken in the U.S. (of course) nearly all of the asian countries. Then a couple countries in Europe. French which i'm learning right now and i really like learning from is really kool, but it isn't as widely spoken...

French is slowly dying out. English, on the other hand, is very important in the business world. Spanish is important as well, especially since it is such a fast-growing language.

Spanish and English.
English is the language of politics, of business, of education, and of the elite (in non-English speaking countries).
Neither Spanish nor English is the majority language, but they are fast becoming the one to know to get ahead anywhere.
