The money, learning a language is not that hard. It's just in some cases you have to learn a particular language instead of learning the language you want, depending on where you live. For example if you live in the United States and if you live in a heavily Hispanic area, learning Spanish is not mandatory but it does improve your resume a lot. People end up learning Spanish even though they are not really into Hispanic culture.

There's enough people who speak English to keep me content. That why I never bothered with Spanish.

$10 mil gets me set for life but being fluent in every human language opens so many jobs and opportunities and amazing stories. I'd take the fluency.

I've been asked this question before and I will always pick the languages. You would be the most famous person on the planet if you could speak every language. An ambassador of the world. Think of all the book deals and movies and tv and EVERYTHING people would want you for.

$10 million would be your third house down payment after awhile.


Rather not have the publicity and media attention.

If you have lots of cash, people will become fluent in your language to talk to you and you wouldn't have to work/sell your skills.

Besides, I can always learn the languages I care about.

You wouldn't be able to use the fact that you are fluent in every language to make money but you could go to Spain and get a job in a Spanish speaking company, teach Spanish, etc.

So it's about having your life set right away vs. still having to work but with an amazing ability.

money

languages would be sort of cool but honestly I am not that interested in most languages. And the amount of free time I'd gain from the money would be enough to let me learn the ones I want to and have plenty of time to spare

Yes.

Except no, programming languages are absolutely not languages in the human sense of the word. They have syntax and you could argue for semantic meaning, but there is a whole host of linguistic considerations that are entirely absent. Most programming languages are rooted in a base language like English anyways. Stay in your lane.

I'd say the challenges with programming/coding is more about the thought process and logical flow than the actual syntax itself.

I mean obviously the language has the potential to make way more than $10 million, but you would need to actually do some stuff. I would just want to be an unimaginative lazy ass who can immediately relax knowing that he's set for life.

Yeah, this all day. Maybe i'm just out to lunch or something, but being able to interact with people from all walks of life in the end I feel would be more fulfilling than the money.

You can say 'if I took the money id just learn the languages' but I feel like there'd be so many other things I'd want to do that I wouldn't be able to have the patience or actually sit down and learn them.

But you can't translate to everyone individually simultaneously.
