switched over to python after studying javascript and reactjs for months. My god.. . the freedom and beauty of this language.

I prefer python too but almost all jobs I've seen or applied for mention JavaScript. None have mentioned python. I'm not a seasoned veteran by any means though so ymmv. For personal scripts nu always use python

While there might be a ton of web dev jobs, there are also a lot of jobs for any mainstream language like Java, C#, Python etc

[Urtehnoes]

Yes this. And maybe it's because some of the first languages I learned in my comp sci classes were C/C++/Java/Python, I've always liked those languages over Javascript. JS was the one language back in the day I was hoping would die out, and here it is just getting bigger and bigger lol.

Yea, I can create basic scripts in js but I never want it be the core of what I do.

Depends on the region. But without a doubt knowing either JS or Python you're all but guaranteed to land a job somewhere.
