I agree. While Latin may be helpful in learning OTHER languages (including English vocabulary), it's not otherwise practical. Spanish, I agree, would be the best bet. French or German next. Unless you want to be a world-travelling businessman or translator, then I'd go with Chinese, Japanese or Russian, or even Arabic, but that's later on.

Spanish is probably the easiest and most practical. Just beware: Don't take Italian after Spanish! I did, and it got way too confusing cuz they're so similar. 1 year of Italian almost erased my 3.5 years of Spanish.

But if you do want to be a translator or true multi-linguist, then sure, take the Latin now while you're young. (Altho there is nothing stopping you from learning it on your own)
