No really, great language to study. After that, most romance languages are a piece of cake.

Yes. If you combine that with a business education, you'd be worth a fortune. Corporations are paying out HUGE money to people who are nothing more than business contacts in China.

China has such a dense, high population that every big company sees no limit to their potential earnings. The area is relatively untapped. The most difficult part is getting over the language and local customs barrier.
