I’m trying to figure out if sticking with my French studies is really worth it beyond just being able to order croissants in Paris. I’ve heard snippets about multilingualism being good for your brain, but I’m wondering how that translates into tangible advantages in the workplace.

Okay, so I’m at a bit of a crossroads.

I work in marketing, and while I don’t need another language for…
Okay, so I’ve been thinking about taking some language courses, and I’m trying to justify the expense. I know it’s enriching and all that, but at the end of the day, I’m also interested in how it could impact my earning potential. I work in the marketing field, specifically in content creation.
