I learned C#. This is a fairly clean language, it will allow you to deal with OOP without looking at the nuances of the language. It is also quite versatile, there is a wonderful ASP.NET MVC web, and Xamarin mobile development, Unity game development, and the desktop. But here you need to see if there are vacancies for it in your city.

The biggest trouble with JS is that it's too weird a language. It behaves in many ways in a non-obvious, non-intuitive way, and not in the way other languages behave. Accordingly, then it may be more difficult to learn other languages.

No. You will push with a crowd of the same Junes, begging for at least some work, at least for a doshirak.
Besides, it is too primitive language and in this case it is a big minus.

why not?
you will immediately see the result - without installing a bunch of development environments and dancing with a tambourine.
You can work on any machine - you only need a notepad and a browser.
the tongue lives, blooms and smells - now you can drink anything on it.

I recommend Java or Python.
I have been writing (working) in Python (Django) for the 3rd year already, I recently started to learn Java. I'm slowly getting used to it.
JavaScript is really a strange language (although it is clear that they are trying to modernize and improve it).
Because it is the only language that is written in the client-side, then learn it if you like to develop front-end). Otherwise, something else is better (for example, where I started this comment).
Although a full-time JS developer SHOULD know (if you choose web development). Therefore, one way or another (under this condition), JavaScript will have to be mastered.

It is definitely worth starting with JS, until other languages impose strict rules, strict types, strict approaches and patterns, and template thinking, which you will then get rid of for years ... A. learn to think in JS - then you will master any language in as soon as possible.
But I warn you, you will have to work and cry ... JS is divine, but he loves to mock adherents :)
