Both Languages will be good to know in business, but if you know Spainish, you will be in demand everywhere, especially in North America.I would learn Spainish first then Japanese later.

i think it's better to take japanese. because nowadays, it's really an advantage when applying for jobs if you know how to speak japanese. as we all know, japan is a very progressive country, and there are a lot ofjapanese businessmen all over the world.
i know someone who applied for a job in a very prestigious bank here in our country. during the interview, she was asked if she knows how to speak japanese because most of their clients in that bank are japanese. she wasn't hired eventhough she graduated with high grades, and the bank hired the other one who is currently taking japanese lessons.
so if i were you, i'd choose japanese.

well.. If I were you I could choose japanes.
I will start a business carrer soon too... so why don't you do like me?? I'm taking japanese and spanish calsses at the same time.
I like study foreign language and I think know more than 1 language is so impostant to my career.
Try to study japanese and spanish at the same time. it's fun and useful!
But if you can chose only one foreign language. Think where you want to make business!

I'm thinking about taking Spanish now and in a couple years I start picking up Japanese. True, I'd like to make business and Japan, but recently someone told me to first get what I know mastered and then pick up an Oriental language. That way I know Spanish, Japanese, English, and my own language, Bengali.
