I know enough to do the business I need to do with non-English speaking folk (and they usually know enough English to meet me half way), but not nearly enough to trouble shoot complicated stuff and earn that pay bump.

Oh, yeah. Like I said, a combination of being multi-lingual, app/logic comprehensive, and creativeness (I attribute being able to play an instrument and create music to being creative) is like the trifecta of education, IMO.
That's not to say that my life would be radically different if I could speak another language or play an instrument but I can't see where it would hurt my overall brain function and, to your point, afford me a few extra bucks in my job.
