Well, as an arab I would tell you to steer away from arabic, the grammar,writing and pronouncation are comepletly different and seeing that you don’t like language studies it will be a major hassle.
Now for useful languages I’d say french or german because AFAIK if you’re not working inside the US you would probably work with german or french speaking countries (I’m thinking CERN in Geneva for some reason but I know it’s not limited to that).
From personal point of view I’d say Russian, it’s just a language that has been fascinating me.
