What is important is your interest of learning. If you love language,whatever it is useful for your work. Just do it. However, you haven't passion about it, just stop it.

Learning is the thing we should continue the whole life.

The language might be useless to your work, but your other abilities may be improved through the language.

Maybe you can get inspirations from it, because I'm learning English. I have that feeling. Any positive choices should be considered sticking to.

If you really want to learn it. Don't mind if it's useful. 
And form my points of view, a brand new language that differs from your mother language can offer you a chance to change your mind set. 
Like different grammar or  something. 
but the most interesting thing is that you can "pretend B" (it's a idiomatic Chiglish hahaha).

No, any language all have their culture, when you learn a new language you will learn a culture from this new language. When you go to other countries, you will find how useful that language you learned.

I am a good example. I use English very often in my previous job as a technical and project supervisor to communicate with headquarter in Italy, since I left the company and work in another cmpany. I use English only fewer chances, but I still  keep learning it, because I like speaking English. Also I think it may be useful  in the near future at work, and evern let it become a personal skill is a plus for working life.

Giving my experience as an example. WhenIwas a undergraduate, Iwas planning to study at Japan, thusIlearned Japanes and passed the N2. But now Istudy at a English speaking country, and totally forget how to speak Japanes. 

If you do not use it frequently, you will forget it sooner or later.
