why bother with a 4th language, and why bother going fluent.

if English is your native language then study Japanese and Chinese, major in Japanese and minor in Chinese and done. Being a native English speaker is worth more here than any paper saying you know the language. Dutch is such a useless language here... you might get one job every 3 years to translate a label on a towel or something.

Plenty of work for translators and interpreters etc
English is not my native language (I'm dutch), that's why I was thinking about getting a degree in it. However, my english is obviously better than my japanese so maybe a major in japanese would be the best choice.
