Which language should I continue to study?

Hello, I'm in college and I'm currently studying Spanish and French right now. I'm a foreign language major, and these two languages were originally supposed to be side projects until I transferred schools. Well, it turns out that I want to continue studying them, but I can only continue studying one of them when I transfer (because studying 3-4 languages at the same time is a bit much for me). When I transfer, I'll be studying Japanese (I also had plans to study Modern Greek but it turns out that the college I'm transferring to no longer offers it).

I am American, so most people would say I should continue to study Spanish. While that sounds the most logical, I'm also having a really fun time learning French and I am looking for ways to apply that to my career later on in life (I want to open my own book publishing company that focuses on translating/publishing manga, although realistically I'll probably only be able to work for a publisher because I don't see myself having the money to start my own publishing house lol). Of course, I'm having a lot of fun learning Spanish, too. I'm also picking it up a lot more well than French, so maybe I should go on to learn Spanish, but I don't want to give up on French either.

I feel really stuck right now with this decision, and I should have a decision by the middle of next month when fall registration opens up for the college I'm transferring to (I have a meeting with my advisor who is going to help me set up my schedule for the fall semester).

Spanish would be more practical in the U.S., but French has that certain [i]je n´est ce pas[/i], non?
