I'd go with french. I think it is more necessary and useful if you're coming to work in Europe someday later in life. Spanish might be easier but doesn't makes you develop at a linguistic level so much because it isn't very challenging on it's own. Go for french, that's my advice.

well i think both have their positive aspects but if you are concerned about future career aspects then you should consider French or German because these both languages are also spoken in european countries like Austria, Switzerland and Sweden etc where higher education is better and cheaper than the bigger countries and besides you can also use French in Canada and recieve a scholarship for that

Well French is spoken widely in Africa, Spanish is spoken widely in south America (along with Portuguese). It depends on which continent you think will be the most important in the future. I think most people would say South America, but don't write off Africa. I've met some Africans, and the new generation are smart and ambitious and determined to break out of their poverty. The future is always a mystery - the Africans may be more successful than the south americans.
