I’m Mexican, I live in the border-town of Reynosa; we have almost 300 factories here. I work as a teacher. I have A LOT of contacts in these factories. I used to teach English, but stopped because a lot of people do it, and I wanted to stand out. I make a living teaching Spanish to Americans working in these factories. I teach French to people working in some of the French owned factories. And I teach Japanese to people working in the many Japanese owned factories. Reynosa has a lot of Korean factories, so I should learn Korean, so I can teach it later on. The thing is I don’t really like the language. I would like to learn Mandarin (Chinese;) I think it’s a beautiful language, but I know Mexico is never going to allow China to open up factories in Mexico because of they are a big competition to us. So I would never make any money out of it. I learned to read and write Greek and Hebrew, and although I like the languages, I haven’t made money out of them. What language should I learn?

You sound very talented. Isn't there an intensively linguistic job in a field that you can be optimized and hired in (i.e. like translating and transcription services, business-political translator,etc.) at your current location?? Are you financially sound as you are? Then choose whatever language you like. But if you feel like you need to make more money then I suggest you choose the field/language that may make the most money out of your talents at your local area (hence, Korean). Make sure you make contacts along the way with your pupils. They sound like working class people who could inadvertently help you to open job opportunities at other places. You maybe their foreign investment. Make sure you can find something catered to your talents on the internet. There's this growing field of one on one live chat sessions for speakers beginning a new langauge with experienced speakers. You may even use it to learn Mandarin as well for yourself. Best of Luck.

Do you make enough money right now to live well? If yes, just learn the language you feel like learning, not the one you think is useful. It will become of some use at some point in your life. To judge whether you make enough money to live well, try to think if you meet your needs, if you can sometimes help people that matter to you, if you can put a little money aside. That's all. Don't go by people's impressions...

I think you are brilliant and I am really jealous of you, I can only speak one other language. You should learn the beautiful language of mandarin, you already know enough languages to get you by in your work, so do something you will enjoy! In England we have saying "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Good Luck!!

If you're only going to work in communications, then choose the one that pays the most. You can always spend your creative time learning the languages that won't pay as much--if at all.

Have you thought about learning Vietnamese? That could be an option for you but don't learn something that you don't want to. Teaching is supposed to be fun not something that you feel is tedious.
