You should choose what you want to do for fun - you have plenty of time at university to decide whether you want to learn something else for job purposes. There's also no such thing as an "easiest" language - every language has different problems for different learners. There are, however, grades of difficulty: Spanish, French, and Italian aren't that hard for a native English speaker (and are similar to each other); German and Dutch are a bit harder (though also similar to each other), and Japanese is the hardest, because the writing system, grammar, and syntax are totally different from any of those other languages.

It's also not very useful - as a non-native and relatively fluent speaker of Japanese myself, sefo is correct; between the numbers of Japanese-speaking foreigners and English-speaking Japanese, the job market is just not there anymore. The reason Digital Poet says Japanese works in tech fields is because most technically-gifted people have trouble learning languages, and language people aren't as good at tech.
