German is still the language that raises your salary the most when foreign language competencies are compared. While English and Spanish are almost taken for granted, German still counts as an actual qualification. What is more, German is easy to learn, beautifully poetic and enormously relevant in technical fields. Did you know that the mp3-format, the x-rays and the chip on your credit cards are all German inventions? German has a very long history in the U.S. and an even brighter future in the world. By the way, aspirin is a German invention as well. You are aiming of a future without headaches? Chose German!
