Do you mean how it would benefit to a hearing person? You can work as a translator. A lot of demand and good pay, but you need to be good.
I know a person, who learned sign language just out of curiosity, but now this person uses it at work (they have some deaf clients and my friend is the only one in the company, who can talk to them. Clients appreciate it a lot and my friend's boss is happy.)

I was tempted to mock the broken English of your question, but besides haste and carelessness, actual difficulty with the language could have caused that.
Which leads me to my first point: Learning a new language very often makes you much more aware of the structures (grammar, syntax, even vocabulary) of native language.
Moreover, knowing *a* sign language (there are different ones in different English-speaking countries) will let you communicate better with many deaf people. That's got to be a benefit, right?

it benefits you in so many ways:
-small children learn if you talk and sign at the same time
-you never know when you will encounter a person who can't hear/talk
-it looks cool
-u can spy on people!!
