Languages and career

Learning languages for me is a door to get all over the opens/provides a doorway to the world and to meeting people. But here and there every now and then/occasionally/sometimes I hear (the 'here' and 'hear' felt clumsy to the ear) people saying that you can`t build your career without English, you can`t be successful without a few/several languages in your resume. Sadly, or happily, I do not care for about that (about what?  what is 'that'? success or being multi-lingual?). For me it is more important/sufficient to be able to travel and meet people. (is that what you mean?) What about you?
