Hi Sarah,
this is unanswerable question because of many reasons in my point of view.
first: mastering two languages, any two, is way better than knowing 3, 4 or 5.
second: any two languages can do the job, obviously.
third: it is always preferable in the market to have language-pairs which include mother tongue (i.e. if I am Arabic speaker, it is better for me to translate to and from Arabic)
fourth: money-wise, it is almost the same because less money-more demand (as English) more-money-less demand (as Deutsche)
finally, your place of work plays a vital role in this, i.e. the most needed languages are the most fruitful ones to learn.

The UN spoken languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. Wish Arabic you cover the business-growing Middle East, with Chinese - every 6th person in the world, with English - the most spoken language in the world, with Russian - the language of Slavonic-speaking countries, and with Spanish - 99% of all Central and Latin America
For me it's English and Russian, since these two languages offer a hefty volume of resources to dig up and ensure adequate translation.
English, Arabic, Spanish, Frech
French, English, Arabic, Spanish.
English, German and spanish
Hi Sarah,
From my humble point of view, I see English is an international language. So being fluent in English beside your mother tongue will be more than enough.
