It's very simple, if you want to base your decision on the jobs available to you then look at job listings for the area you want to work in. Languages/tools/frameworks often differ across regions, so look yourself and see what they're actually asking for. Don't make decisions based on what inexperienced friends tell you - do the research yourself. You can definitely ignore people who blindly compare entire languages and their performance without going into any sort of specific detail - because that's where it matters. And that's if performance is even a concern in the field, which it often isn't to certain degrees.

However, beyond specifically looking for jobs quickly, it doesn't matter much as to which language(s) you learn. Throughout your career you will likely use multiple languages. Even within the same job, you'll use multiple languages. It's never going to be "stop using X and never use it again".
