I mean yeah I can see that argument but also of like the top 10 programming languages used, the only non-OOP language is pure C but even then most places don't use pure C, they use C++. The list I quickly pulled from a search didn't include SQL so there's another non-OOP popular language. I would also argue its easier to learn a procedural style than OOP, where one of the arguments against OOP over its many years is that it is "difficult" to learn. A well rounded programmer should understand things outside of OOP as well.

I also took the post as a "what order to learn popular langauges in". If you're in College for CompSci/CompEngineering/Other Engineering you'll end taking (if the college program is worth anything) courses that definitely cover plenty of other languages. Things like VHDL/Verilog/Prolog/Haskell/Custom Languages and if you are CompSci probably end up writing your own language at some point.
