Part of the problem in the world is communication ... and if people with multiple language skills have better hiring probability ...
... shouldn't we be teaching more languages in schools?
A lot of people complain that new immigrants don't learn english, but have they taken classes in foreign languages (I took French for 4 years in high school).
What languages should be taught and when -- especially that it is easier to learn new languages at young ages -- elementary grades, for instance.
What languages should be taught?
Spanish
Chinese (mandarin)
Russian
German
What's your thoughts.
Enjoy
