Nevertheless, all languages have their own utility and applicability but still, I would recommend you to follow 'Spanish Language'. Its syntax, grammar and even the words are similar to that of English. That's why, it is considered as the easiest language to learn. My suggestion is to look at the job market and see what jobs are out there that require more than just your native language/s and English. Then, decide which one fits what you have in mind. You might want to choose a language that is in the highest demand and pays the best by the businesses in your area. In India, Spanish, is in more demand because of its outsourcing. Many of the companies are setting up their operations in Spain, hence, they will need you. Many businesses like Travels & Tourist requires language translators who are very fluent in these languages so that they can translate those particular foreign languages into native language to facilitate the tourists. Spanish is the most widely speaking language throughout the world after English. Hence, it is in demand. Rest, depends upon your interest.

As far as a foreign language in India is concerned, University of Delhi is proven to be the best so far. DU conducts various diplomas courses in foreign language in some of its colleges which has very high market value. Many foreign missions based in Delhi also run courses in their languages, which can be pursued part-time by aspirants. The certificates that you will get from DU is completely verified. Here, you will get the world class national/international faculties to teach you a specialized language. Here, some of the faculties also have great foreign experience in that particular field. So, getting admission in Delhi University for a foreign language should be your first option. But, if you are not eligible for Delhi University, you may consider Amity University, Noida campus as your second best option because the brand value of Amity University is increasing nowadays.

Sociology covers human behavior, cultures, trends and phenomenon. The scope ends at individual human behavior, psyche and personalities. That's where psychology takes over.
I once had a sociology professor tell me I couldn't put in my research that a participant was upset at my research question, because I wasn't qualified to know if they were angry. As a double major in psychology it was clear the participant was angry. In psychology I could make this distinction, but sociology avoids explaining how the human brain works in social explanations.
Sociologist (also psychologist) George Herbert Mede made an analogy once about studying the trees or the forest to compare sociology and individual human behavior. Although sociology does explain human behavior and the environments influence, psychology tends to focus more on how the brain is affected by these interactions.
In the end, my personal opinion is that sociology has a very large scope and psychology tends to narrow it down a bit.

Political science is a field which deals mostly with practical and empirical aspects (except few topics in political science like classical political theory).
Whereas philosophy is more abstract, normative and prescriptive in orientation.
Philosophy seeks to find answers behind why factor, like why particular phenomenon whether social, political or economic is happening and its roots and origins and endeavors to bring it closer to ideal situation.
Whereas Political Science is the field where one is supposed to engage into disinterested research refraining from any personal prejudices and preferences to explain ongoing political phenomenon.
In terms of wideness and expanse, Philosophy is much broader stream than political science. Philosophy has broad contours touching all fields of humanities right from history, sociology, and economics to culture.

The humanities and arts basically consists of subjects like commercial arts, Philosophy, psychology, economics, sociology, political science, statistics, literature and languages, etc. The junior college generally consists anew introduction to all these subjects wherein you can select your choice of major for the next three years of graduation. I will try to expand the career opportunities you can have by choosing any of the subjects.
1. Economics: Data analyst, several options in the banking sector where they have special posts for eco graduates. Basically a corporate 9-5 job would be tailor made for you.
2. Psychology: A therapist, counsellor, advisor etc.
3. Philosophy: Human resource management actually need people from philosophy background. Areas which includes ethics and logical thinking would be great as a career for a philosophy major student.
4. Political science: Get into hardcore politics. It's high time we have seen people who actually know the science and philosophy of politics, practice it.
5. Sociology: A career in government sector which includes family planning, development seems apt for a sociology major.
6. Language and literature: A knack and skill for writing along with passion for it, will take you places with this chosen field.

There are very big areas of specialization in political science to which you can opt for potential growth of your future. According to me, you will be very much beneficial if you choose 'International Relations & Middle East Politics' as your major and 'History & Business Administration' as your minor. Because with this combination, you will be able to fetch a designated job in the global market with high pay package. With this combination, you may get the job in-International diplomacy, foreign service officer, Liaison officer, conflict analyst, trouble shooter, peace maker OR local government/civil service: administrator, policy researcher and project or program coordinator. Remember one thing that all the opportunities not just demand your academic qualifications but your internal IQ as well along with your relationship building skills. Hence, try to gain everything in this subject.
I hope this helps.

In India, you have limitless opportunities if you have done your Masters in Geography. Geography is a very vast and diverse combination of many subjects. In this course, you have to study and analyze spatial phenomena, land management, conservation, resource management and extraction, urban planning, development work, etc. Hence with these skills and command on subject matter one can apply for ES SO (Earth System Science Organisation). There is good demand for the faculty posts too. Other than this many government vacancies are available in different departments like forest services, petroleum industries, etc. The best option is teaching where you can pursue PhD and earn a big chunk of money simultaneously. But again, the opportunities also depend upon 'your quality'. How and from where you pursued your course also matters. So, try to be focused on learning about career and job opportunities as well.
Best of luck.
