Of course its worth backpacking there. As far as getting a job, I am sure they would like you to be able to speak some spanish. But its an easy language to learn a few words in.

I studied Spanish for a week before going to Spain and it did wonders for me... Granted, it was a lot easier coming in w/ French as a base (they're very similar), but I found that using some language CDs from Pimsleur, it was very easy to learn the basics... and VERY useful, as many people in Spain speak no English whatsoever - unless you stick to the tacky tourist areas.
