If you live in Canada or Quebec, it makes sense to learn French. Note that conversational French only uses half of the 14 or so verb tenses, and people expect you to use the correct grammar and gender. If you plan to write French for a living, that will be tough for a non-native writer. But if you live in the USA, Spanish is more useful and you'll have the opportunity to practise it.
