It totally depends on where you live and what industry you want to get into =)
In the United States, generally the choice is Spanish.
In Europe, German or French (German is the most widely spoken first language in Europe).
In Australia/New Zealand it would probably be Japanese or Chinese.
In Singapore, Chinese.
Of the languages I just mentioned, here is a rough classification of the difficulty of languages. 1 = easiest
This classification is for native English speakers.
1. Spanish (not too hard - shares a lot of words that are similar to English, grammar is quite transparent. I love the way how Spanish grammar is so consistent and logical :) )
2. French (moderate - difficult - shares a lot of words that are similar to English, grammar is quite transparent)
3. German (a little more difficult than French - grammar less similar to English than French and Spanish, and vocabulary more difficult)
4. Japanese (very difficult)
5. Chinese Mandarin (very difficult)

I think Spanish would be very optional. We have a lot of Spanish speaking people in the US now and its like one of the popular language in the world to learn and to speak.

Spanish is the most expanded language in the world, second to English. So, I think it would be the best option.

Spanish is relatively easy to learn, and many businesses in the United States are interested in hiring multi-lingual people because of their desire to serve hispanic consumers.
If there is a chance that the company does a lot of business in Africa, you might consider French. Both France and Belgium had extensive colonies in Africa in the 19th and 20th centuries, and French is either the or one of the official languages of most of the countries in northern and western Africa.

spanish is difficult but if you are smart that will be a smart choice, because when you know spanish, the italian and portuguese will become easy, and the with those plus english German will be piece of cake and with all those then french is piece of cake. then most of the european languaghes like danish will become a liitle simple for you. Japaenese is not hard to learn is only hard to writte, but to speak is very simple like english. IU speak spanish and a little italian, started japanese and german and latin but never continued to learn because i got twin daughters and they consume all my time (in a great and wonderful way)so you can contact me at carlosgarridogonzalez@hotmail.com

yea... if you live in the US spanish would be the best choice...
I'm bilingual and i would watch spanish or mexican movies and read the subtitles in english... that way you can actually get use to the accent you need to take classes or go to a spanish speaking country for at least 3 months. Its all worth it... you learn so quick that way than going to classes.

Spanish would be a great option. Hispanics are the largest growing minority in the US. This will definitely be a plus in any field

German is very important in the business world and the most widely spoken native language of the European Union.
