I'm trying to figure out which programming language would be best to learn to land a decent job in the IT sector. I've been considering starting with JavaScript and CSS/HTML, but I'm wondering if diving into full stack development—which would include SQL, C#, and Python—might be a smarter choice. I think I would thrive on the frontend first, as I usually take my time to grasp new concepts. What do you all suggest? Also, what are some good platforms or YouTube channels for learning these skills? Thanks!

I appreciate the advice! I've actually made good progress on freeCodeCamp's JavaScript course. I'm about 20% in and I'm leaning toward mastering JavaScript and frontend first before tackling backend. Do you think the extra skills will really make a difference in pay?
