Which is more valuable, Russian or French?

I am at a toss up between what language I want to study at the moment, Russian or French. I've already got a good background in Spanish, which gives me a little extra advantage in French, but I love how Russian sounds, which I'm now two days into studying (I started two days ago, just to see if I'd like it, and I do.) But I want to go into business (accounting, business strategy, etc.), which, if I were working on an international level (which I doubt), I would be using French. However, I've got a foot in the door with the GOA, and would be training to become an auditor, and there is a strong Russian population where I live.

Or I could be a translator, and Russian would be needed more in my area than French. However, I might move to Boston, and have no idea whether I would need Russian or French more. Though, I plan to move all over -- possibly even to Russia, possibly France, most likely Chile (but I already know English and Spanish, so that's good.) I guess in Western Europe, French might be more valuable, but I don't know how much time I'd be spending in Europe. There's a good chance I'll just be in Seattle for a while, so I'm pretty torn.



What do you guys think? Should I continue with Russian or go on with French? Biases welcome.Which is more valuable, Russian or French?
Unless you are well versed in a certain field of expertise, you can forget about becoming a translator.



If you have the time, I'd recommend you start learning Esperanto (it helps you learn other languages faster) and after (half) a year, or besides esperanto take french AND russian to find out which one suits you best.



Every language is valuable , but if you dislike it, chances are you won't learn it properly. I don't think 2 days s enough to tell.Which is more valuable, Russian or French?
If I were you, I will learn French because it is more common. French is pretty easy to learn once you know it. I know because my sister is a chinese and she learned French. I don't know about Russian.
