Learning Dutch isn't a waste of time. Just travel to Holland and see how your efforts are appreciated! Moreover, the fewer the people learning the language, the more in demand you might turn out to be as one of the few with a knowledge of it.
To answer your question about German, it is spoken in Austria and Switzerland as well as Germany and I have used it as a lingua franca (common language) in travelling in other European countries, as it is a language many people learn at school.
