If I have a use for a language, (work or travel) I wouldn't mind at all. At the time, our school system was set up with fewer sections per day to fit in required courses and any electives that we wished to take. With the courses that I had to take for college entry requirements, there were not many left to fit in true electives that would have allowed for a well rounded education rounded out with courses that I found interesting.

Except for a couple vacations down into the border states, I haven't had any real opportunities to use a second language. The volume of reading I do in my native language combined with continuing my education and my work keep me occupied with more than 24 hours in a day as it is.
