Spanish as a Second Language?

I don't want to date myself, but I remember the time when the hot advice of the day was to study up on those computer skills.

"If you want to work in the future, you'll need computer skills," they said. As it turns out, that was good advice. You would be hard pressed in today's market to find a job that doesn't require extensive experience on the computer.

You know what I'm going to say--the same holds true for today when it comes to Spanish skills. Everywhere you look, Spanish text is popping up on signs, on phone menus, and in advertising.

I know, I know-this is a controversial topic for many people. I'm hearing the shouts already. To those who are screaming that "English should be the official language," I apologize for your discomfort.

The fact is, employers will require Spanish skills.

What does this mean for your future? If you don't speak Spanish already, you may want to consider lessons. It won't be long before employers will require Spanish the way they already require computer skills. The good news is, you can do it for free.
