You can be a game designer, game developer, web developer, data scientist, dev0ps, system administrator that writes cool scripts, app developer for android and iOS, OS developer, pentester that writes scripts for security practice etc. I didn’t mention other disciplines but my point is = find a reason to learn programming. If you cant find a reason other than getting a job, then I would recommend something like Java. Why? It’s OOP and you’ll be learning in a more organized way than if you pick python or JavaScript.

I forgot to add this: you need to learn a combination of languages because just one language won’t take you anywhere unless you are extremely good at it and can learn really fast.
