Would it be wise of me to pursue a degree in foreign language?

I'm currently in culinary school but I'm kinda having fun studying German. After I finish, should I eventually go to school and become a major in German? It might be good to have something to fall back on if I'm not successful as a chef. I've noticed that a lot of the people who graduated from my school with Culinary degrees in the 1990s are moving on to other professions (one guy was going to Japan for engineering), and it really got me thinking about my future.
