1. Although the topic says that work has nothing to do with English, in the process of learning English, we not only improve our English level, but also a process of continuous learning and progress, self-improvement and self-confidence. Our life is gradual.
Second, with the continuous improvement of English, you can also take some certificates by the way. In the existing working environment, a certificate may not be necessary, but it is a proof of ability. Imagine that, under the same conditions, A has only a CET-4 certificate, while B has a CET-4 certificate, a CET-6 certificate, a TOEIC certificate, and perhaps a translation certificate and an interpretation certificate. Can you think that B loves learning more and has stronger learning ability? Other things being equal, the added value created by English certificates will definitely have an advantage in promotion.
Third, it is precisely because English is not needed in the present job that an excellent English level can create more opportunities and reflect personal value. If it coincides with a new foreign-related project or needs to receive foreign customers, the opportunity for people with excellent English will come. I also encountered such an opportunity in my previous job. At that time, my English was relatively good in the working environment, so I would always receive customers who came to the company to inspect the production background of the enterprise. Customers have a good impression on me, and of course, there are many credits for fluent English and smooth communication. Later, this customer has been docked by me, and his high performance for several months is his credit!
4. Judging from the subject's question, the current job tends to be stable, at least there is no willingness to change jobs. However, none of us can guarantee that we can only engage in one kind of work all our lives. Now English level has become a hard standard for many enterprises to recruit, especially European and American enterprises and European and American joint ventures, so if English level is enough, then we will have more choices. I used to have two colleagues. Let's call them Little C and Little D for the time being. Because the company was depressed for a while, both Xiao C and Xiao D had the idea of job-hopping. Their business level is similar, but little D is slightly higher, but little C's English is better, and because of his good English, he participated in the professional training organized by the company, and he easily found a foreign-funded enterprise. Xiao D, because his English is not good enough, although he can find a suitable job, the range of choices is relatively not so wide. General foreign-funded enterprises will give him feedback. If your English is better, we welcome you to our company. These are two people with similar business level. Because of their different English level, they have formed two completely different states.
Nowadays, with the acceleration of internationalization, English is more and more integrated into our lives, and now many primary school students can speak fluent English. Imagine that in a few years, primary school students' English will be better than yours. In the future, you may hear people talking about things in English at any time in the street. Do you feel illiterate if you can't understand a slightly complicated sentence? Learning English is also advancing with the times.
The above is my opinion. I think learning English is very necessary, no matter from which angle.
