Which YP to choose considering the demand in my city and region?

Question

Career in IT

Hello. What language would you advise to learn based on the data.
city ​​- 110k population. There are no IT vacancies.
Nearest millionaire city 100 km. Intern and junior vacancies, there are both php and c#. There I study at the correspondence course "system analysis and management".
20 years old (special prof. arr - technician). Now I work at the factory for 17k. I study Japanese after work. Started recently, 2-3 weeks.
What are the advantages I have identified for myself in these languages:
PHP: 1) The possibility of remote work (very big plus considering that there are no vacancies in the city)
2) Nevertheless, it seems simpler and learning it together with html sql css will come out faster.
3) You can combine freelancing with work.
C#: 1) It's nice to realize that you're learning a language in which you can do a lot of things. And to be honest, I want to be related to desktop development.
2) In general, the language seemed elegant.
First I taught php, went through the base, started OOP, abandoned it and switched to c# because I don’t like the web, I went through the basics (yes, they are very similar to php) iii ... went to hh.ru avito and realized that C# vacancies no, there are few freelance projects in C # and they are too large. There are no vacancies in php, but there are a lot of freelance projects for different levels of knowledge.
What ways I see:
1) Continue to learn C #, post a resume on the sites after a while, respond to vacancies and prepare to rent housing in a million-plus city. Although it’s stupidly scary to quit work and go to another city like this))
2) Learn html, css, php, sql periodically look at freelance exchanges in search of simple orders. Get even while continuing to work, freelancing in the evenings.

Answer 1

Why does every second person think that they will take him by the hand and lead him into the IT world?
1. You still decide something on your own
2. Everyone else, in principle, does not care at all what you decide for yourself
3. There is no concept of faster or slower - how it will turn out (we all have different learning speeds and conditions for this)
4. Do what you like, and what you don’t like, you’ll quit anyway, because you will be of no use in this situation

Answer 2

I study Japanese after work.

I already thought about Japanese. If you combine Japanese (the grammar is very simple), English and programming, then you can give up on Japan.

Answer 3

city ​​- 110k population. There are no IT vacancies.

I do not believe.
There are definitely about fifty open vacancies in your city.
Give a hand.
You can even go to work every day, if you really need it.
Yes, and jointly renting an apartment in a millionaire with friends / a girl is quite realistic.
Self-learning? Without an experienced programmer at hand? Consider at least six months.
Bad idea - remote from scratch.
In an office with experienced fellow programmers at your side, your progress will be rapid.
Well, with self-study from scratch, you will actually lose years of life for exactly the same progress.
Years - it's easily 2 years in the office versus 7 years of self-study and remote work with the same qualifications in the end.
Important: the office should have experienced colleagues working with you on the same project, and not all beginners like you.
When you sit on a separate isolated project in one - this is also not an option, even in the office.
Perhaps
No.
You or a pro.
Or don’t even make money on freelancing for food.
They are the same in terms of language expressiveness - what is C#, what is PHP.
You can do a lot on both.
Full of vacancies in C #
There are a lot of C# projects, and you personally don't need too many projects. Few projects - this is also enough.
It is not true
Yes it's true.
You needlessly choose from the criteria "money".
In both languages, there is a lot of money (work).
But - only pros pay.
There are too many beginners now.
Becoming a pro takes a lot of time.
It won't work fast.
The option with self-study, part-time remote work is not an option.
You can with friends.
All the same, renting an apartment in one is unrealistic at first.
If there is somewhere to return (parents will support them for a week or two, they will feed them) - there are no risks at all.
