In many countries certain occupations require their employees to be able to demonstrate a high level of competence in at least two foreign language, in addition to their native tongue..(These langauges can include, of course Spanish, as well as French Italian, Japanese, Chinese etc...)
These occupations would include:
Air cabin crew: Air stewards, and this probably includes pilots and other crew.
Teachers of foreign languages
I am not talking about people with TEFL(Teaching English as a foreign langauge) ot TESOL qualifications in this instance who may teach adults for a few hours a week part-time but people wishing to teach other foreign languages full time in schools: eg teaching Spanish and French in England. There seems to be a growing trend amongst employers towards advertising for and employing native speakers
Translators working within European Parliament
Interpreters attached to(working with) foreign diplomats
International lawyers
Intelligence services (Espionage: eg MI5,MI6, quite probably Interpol )
Tour guides in some countries may be required to demonstrate competence in more than one foreign langauge.
Bilingual secretaries would also require at least one foreign langauge.
I expect many of you could think of some more professions and occuaption where at least a second - if not a third language is required and will be paid accordingly..
For all these skills you would be required to have achieved a very high level of competency in probably at least two or three other languages, either as a native or with the qualifications to prove it.
Finally ,while looking on the positive side, there more opportunities than even to use your expertise in this field,(sphere) the problem is that the standard is very, very high and with an increasing number of people applying who can demonstrate ability to communicate in at least two foreign languages, the bar (standard) may be raised even higher to at least 3 within the next 5 to 10 years. This may, in turn leave some countries like England unable to complete due to the lack of investment in foreign langauge teaching in schools and the lack of priority given to foreign languages.
I believe that in other countries such as Spain France and Germany the learning of a second language is compulsory in addition to their own native tongue.
I hope that helps

In my own job search in the US, this is what I have observed. There are many jobs that require knowing 1 foreign language, usually Spanish or an Asian language, in order to work with a particular population. So an office worker, research assistant, call center person, social worker, speech therapist, or teacher would need a second language to get hired. They don't necessarily pay more than a similar worker without the knowledge because they wouldn't hire such a worker at all in some cases. Most job listings do say that they pay according to education and experience. So if a job vacancy said "bilingual preferred" but not required, they may pay somewhat more for the extra education and/or experience. I think this may be the case in health care, because, for example, a nurse that speaks another language saves the hospital getting an expensive interpreter. Mostly though, it seems to be a matter of the amount of opportunities, not the pay scale. There are so many people without jobs these days, so the possibility of getting paid at all is better with foriegn language skills. People in the US are not expected to know 2 or 3 foreign langauges unless they work in linguistics or maybe as interpreters or teachers. But I have seen enough vacancies asking for bilingual Spanish/English that I thought I better scrape off the rust and get fluent in Spanish again.
Hmmm, now that is an interesting issue, I think it stands to reason that anybody should know a second language.
In Spain you do not get paid more money for knowing a second language, but you do have access to better jobs, which means a higher salary of course.
Working as management in the restaurant industry, I feel knowing Spanish is very valuable there. I am not too sure if it would result in a higher pay necessarily, but having the ability to communicate is very valuable (especially in management). If you can communicate something that someone else would have to do a charade party for 5 minutes to get the point across, it makes life a lot easier.
But really, in ANY job you go into, knowing Spanish can't hurt. With the growing population of Spanish speakers, it is possible that many positions could at some point in time have the need (even if it is only very small and once in a year type of thing).
Oh, and I just thought of another one. Customer service. When I used to work in customer service, I know for a fact that people who spoke other languages got paid more. I believe the reasons are obvious in this case.
Some medical and health care employers do not encourage workers to use non-native languages. Some insist on using a local translating agency for all communications with non-English speaking clients/patients. We have a large local hospital here that insists no employee communicate with a patient in a language other than English. This conservative action seems strange, but was likely a response to malpractice insurance guidelines.
Translators for medical care are required to successfully pass a screening before they are allowed to communicate with patients or clients.
This may not be true in all areas.
I work for Nationwide Insurance, and just got offered a job in Claims with a 5% bonus for being bilingual. 
Basically any company that is looking to reach out to Latino customers will value bilingualism.
While there may be exceptions, generally, as an HR practitioner, I have not seen a difference in pay in any jobs based on knowing additional languages.
