Learning A New Language For Petroleum Engineering?

<p>I'm currently on my last year of high school, and plan to attend community college for the first year and a half, and then transfer to Colorado School of Mines to get a bachelors in petroleum engineering. I'm wondering if there's some advice I should get now before it's too late? </p>

<p>I've heard joining SPE and attending their meetings is crucial, so I'm on that already. </p>

<p>Obviously, maintaining a high GPA is my priority. </p>

<p>How about learning a new language?
I'm fluent in Spanish and English, and I'm good at picking up languages easily, so would learning Chinese or Arabic give me any significant advantage when looking for a job? </p>

<p>Looking forward to hearing your advice.
Thanks! </p>
