But honestly the language is irrelevant at your level. Any language can just about do the same as any other language, some do things better and are a better choice for a specific topic or task because of that.

Python is very newbie friendly yet very powerful, I recommend starting there.

I also would not get your hopes up if you are relying on this for your income. It will take a very long time and lots of reading and practicing.

Besides that, you should look into Javascript since its being used everywhere now a days. You might be able to land a frontend developer job somewhere, but also learn html/css and js.
