Arabic. Then you can work for the government… depending on which country you’re in.

when i think quality of life, i do not think middle east, do you?
I’m from the Middle East and we have plenty ‘quality of life’. I’m also a native bilingual of Arabic and English.
As for study languages, I’m intermediate in Japanese because the media interests me; I suppose you could pick a language based on books you want to read, or films you want to watch.

as an atheist i can’t go, neither can my gay friends.
Have you tried a language learning app such as Duolingo? Maybe try a couple of languages and see which one most interests you. I showed my mom how to use the Duolingo app and she’s now trying to learn Spanish.

I learned a little German.
yes i downloaded google translate, suggested they add sign language and started memorizing spanish by 1. reading aloud from text then. 2. saying aloud without text. a total for four times daily for two consecutive days.

Well since I’m in Texas I’d say Spanish.
I’m in the process of taking a Spanish course on a Great Courses app. on my smartphone. It is really fun. I’m halfway through the course. It is just a refresher course for me. You forget a lot after so many years.

French maybe? lots of places speak french!
also is there anything useful in english to memorize?
Of course there is. Everything.
Computer languages. Start with Python and HTML, and then move up to Java and C++. Those are the most widely used.
The two most in demand fields and highest paying are the computer science field and the financial field. The last I heard the computer field could not fill 70% of all of the jobs available.
So the computer language is going to pay you, entertain you, amuse friends and family with what you can do with it, and you’ll have something meaningful for the rest of your life. You’ll get to meet all kinds of other people online and in person that are computer people too. You can even meet people that you do services for.
You can even bridge from the computer field to the financial field, and write computer algorithms that trade stocks, futures, foreign currencies, bonds, options, and cryptocurrencies automatically while you do other things.

i can’t hold down a job but that still sounds more useful because i have not seen a latino in person in a year since my neighbor moved. thanks.
Well, the computer world and the online trading world are more individually guided than not. It’s kind of like being an independent contractor or being an entrepreneur or just being a researcher and developer. It’s up to the individual when to be one or the other.
And people that speak other languages tend to want to speak our language because that is where the money is at. I don’t think that there’s much use that we can do by learning to speak their language since they are trying to learn to speak ours for the economic advantages. Maybe I could see learning to speak Russian or Asian Languages for the Political Economic future as they are leading the under developed world, but we are scz, so I would think that would be beyond what we can reasonably expect.
Computer language and our own speaking language seems to be the two main ones in the world, and we’re half way there, eh. Just one more, the computer language/s, and we’re set for life.
