If you could learn Mandarin, it opens up a lot of good paying jobs in government and business, but I'm guessing Mandarin is a lot harder to learn than Spanish.

Seems like it. Not only do we not have no frame of reference for the writing system, the pronunciations don't seem very straightforward either.
Mandarin probably would be the most useful second language here (aside from French which is good for getting government jobs). When I was growing up, virtually all the Chinese people were Cantonese speakers from HK, but now it's mostly mainland Chinese coming in. One small city near here is 45% Chinese people.

English is a second language in my neighborhood, right behind Spanish. Go with that.

I would learn Spanish, for travel reasons.
Unlock South and Central America (not to mention wide swaths of the southern States), but also Spain (and a window to the other Romance languages).
