I think that they're both useful, but it also goes by how fluent each of these languages are in the area you live in. If there are more Spanish speaking people where you are then I say yes, Spanish would be more useful to you and visa versa.

I have never needed Spanish. I speak French fairly fluently although English is my native language. I've taken 5 years of French and 1 of Latin. I took a trip to a supposedly bi-lingual part of Canada, and found that I many shopkeepers and waiters didn't speak much English at all. If you plan to do any work with Canada, Africa, or what was formerly French Indo-China (now Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia), take French. Many Caribbean islands also speak French as a native language. If you're going into Engineering, take French. There are a lot of engineering firms in France. If you plan to go into international banking, French is your best bet.
Whichever one you choose, once you learn one, the other will be very easy to pick up, just don't start both at once. After 4 years of French, I decided to start Latin as well as continuing with a fifth year of French, and it proved surprisingly easy.

Depends on where you live. In Mexico and the South Western United States, Spanish is more useful. In Eastern Canada, French is more reasonable to learn.

Spanish seems more useful ineveryday life as you maybe encountering a lot of spanish-speaking people in your environement. In international organizations though, French comes next after English as the language of understanding.

Where do you live? If you live in the USA, western or southern part, I would take Spanish. If you live near the northern part near Canada, I would take French.
But....I know living in Arizona that everything is written in Spanish & English. We have a lot of jobs that require you to be billingual. So I would definetly take Spanish. Wouldn't you know it I took 4 years of highschool French and I NEVER use it. Good Luck!

Useful for what?
If you mean to say that more people speak Spanish than french, that's correct.
But if you live near Quebec, or in Canada or are planing to go to study in France, then french is better.
It depends on your life interests and choices.

of course Spanish is more useful! French is spoken in France (40 mill people), Quebec (2 million) and in Ghana, Zaire Haiti, and a few other places you'd love not to visit.
Spanish the iother other languiage in our entire hemisphere! Over 500 million people speak it! and 25% of the US speaks Spanish RIGHT NOW.
So get on the bus! i Súbate !
