    If you are good at maths and engineering then you can use C++.

    If you want to do web pages then JavaScript.

    PHP is going out of fashion but jobs are still going but there will be lots of unemployed PHP programmers about.

    So you need to consider what sort of work you want to do and see what programming languages are used in those fields.

    You will often have to do multiple languages nowadays.

    For example if you do JavaScript you may also have to do CSS3, HTML5 too (to make up web pages).

    If you do C++ you may also have to do Python (for quick testing) and MatLab (to develop maths) too.

    There is a pattern, in specialty that is, most languages that you studied in your spare time is useless in this time. You will see, which language is for which use, and you target your specialty accordingly, the languages sited are archaic and it is almost a certainty that you did not experience that specialty I speak of. JavaScript is a good starting point for you to learn modern programming properly.

    A good programmer knows a few languages very well and is familiar with most others. Once you've learnt one language of a particular type, it isn't difficult to learn others.

    Programming languages are tools - you use the one most suited to the task. If you were a carpenter would you only learn how to use a hammer?
