If I can play guitar on par with the best in the world, that is majorly life altering.
I don't necessarily think so. You can only play guitar very well, you haven't been given musical writing talent.

I don't get why the language one is so popular.
Me neither. Would I take it? Yeah. I was a German major, I love languages. But, languages really wouldn't impact my life as much as some others. It would greatly help my current career in some ways, but if you gave me music skills on par with the greatest guitar players in the world I would switch careers in a second.

i mean, that argument could be made for all of these, though

I can write stuff, that's not an issue. Worst case, you can be a guitar player for someone else's band/music. You don't necessarily have to write stuff to make a lot of money as one of the world's best guitarists.
My final list would probs be:
1. Guitar
2. Extreme Sports (not at the top because injury risk means your career in this field could be shortened)
3. Automotive repair (really really useful)
4. Fighting

So people want to become translators. Boring.
job prospects
Meh, it just gives you a way to express your same ol' normal ideas/speech/thoughts in a different language. Not really a huge boost to job prospects if you're not already in high demand for some reason.
Lots of people are fluent in multiple languages (especially outside of the USA). How much good does it really do them?

Your point is well taken, but while a bilingual high school dropout is not much different from any other high school dropout, but (depending on the language) a bilingual sales, engineering, or management executive has access to some really cool jobs and better pay than other single-language executives.
