French in Finance

I am looking to study finance during my undergraduate degree and I was wondering if it would be worth while to continue to pursue studies in French. I was in an immersion program in high school and would do very well in the language, but I am wondering how useful it will be. I would have to sacrifice taking more relevant business/finance courses to continue with French and I don't know if anyone cares I speak French in the IB scene. Suggestions and or comments on the pros/cons of keeping my second language? Do you know of any cases in which speaking french would be beneficial?
