That is a very general question. It is certainly advantageous to have members of the population who are fluent in English and another language for faciliting trade and international relations, but I do not think that it is neccessary for everyone to speak English.

Take a look at Japan. English levels are very low, however they still became an industrialised country.

So I would suggest that it is up to individuals to ask themselves that question.
