It's an asset, but it's an asset that millions of people possess. As a result, it is not a highly valued asset (jobs that rely exclusively on the good command of the English language, such as copywriting, are not well-paid at all). Specialized knowledge, in contrast (say, programming embedded systems or surgical nursing), can give you a resonable degree of financial success, even if your command of standard English is mediocre...

"asset"
It's definitely an asset, yet does not guarantee success. However, *not* having a command of the language is definitely a liability.
