It depends. Learning Racket and the design methodology taught by Felleisen, et al. could help you become a better programmer in general, and thus significantly further your career.

Sure, I agree. But the impact is much less direct. Most interviews go like this: "Have you worked with Angular?". And you just don't really need to be a very good programmer to have a well-paying job.
