Men code in C++, fags write in everything else.
Don't fall for the Java/C# meme.

Surely i could learn C# and use that as a gateway into c++?

COBOL

$ 100,000 starting

just learn JavaScript and also Typescript. Then learn some JavaScript libraries and frameworks like jquery, angular, etc. You might want to start with Java first, though.

No, C# is pretty much Java with nerd shit tacked on, you need to go straight to the source, the best language, C++

I know the basics of Javascript, Python and C#, Javascript is ok but i feel like it won't pay as much as C++ or C#.

After you master Java, buy a fedora and a my little pony doll to fap to everyday so you can fully become a java master

C# is good, especially if you focus on open-source with .NET Core. New possibilities and opportunities everywhere.

Don't forget the make some Minecraft mods too.

C# it is then. Afterwards ill head into C++. Thanks lads!

>>55591316

Don't really need to head into anything else,

I learned, C#, C/C++, Java, Python, Javascript, Assembly, VHDL, MATLAB and god knows what other shit in uni,

Finished got a job in C# as a graduate on 25,000 pounds annually, that was raised to 30,000 within 6 months,

C, then C++ if you wanna be good. Just remember that being good is not always equal to making kick ass money relative to the rest of the field. It's hard to recommend what language to learn if you wanna make bank, sense there's a few different things to go for in that case; web languages, python, java, etc etc. I say fuck it and learn C and then C++. Git gud then worry about the money, at that point you'll probably understand what it takes to get to the big money jobs.

This is not the way to go about things. However, if you really want to make money for understanding a language, C++ probably offers the most opportunity. There are tons of huge projects with bugs and security problems written in C++, and it's crushingly complex. For the same reasons that C++ offers the most opportunity, it offers the most pain and the highest entry cost (years of full-time focused work to become an expert).

Be careful what you wish for. Programming language choice is coincidental or inconsequential for many fields of CS.

if you're in programming for the money.
quit now.
because you have to love the fuck out of it to bare the pain that development cycles bring with it.
and learning it requires quite a bit of dedication if you want to get gud

This.

If you're in it for money, try to do some kind of data management consulting for businesses. It'll take advantage of your computer skills without torturing you, and you'll probably get paid better.
