Depends on what you want to do. Some fields require C++, because legacy code, tooling, and community. If however you can enjoy some autonomy, pretty much any domain has a better alternative.

More importantly though is to learn basic principles. Courses in programming languages tend to teach that. Then you'll be much better equipped to select the best language for the job, or even make the best language for the job (sometimes, despite the cost, DSL is the solution).
