Yeah, it depends where you live and where you plan on traveling. If you live in the southwest USA or Miami, and you travel a bit to Latin America, Spanish is quite useful. In Europe and Northern Africa and the Caribbean, French may prove more useful than Spanish (as you said).
I guess it is just down to where life takes you
