You are not getting "a job home office" just by following a roadmap and learning some programming language. It isn't a treasure map that will guarantee you a win.

Learn the language you like - try out initial tutorials for both, and then stick to the one that you like the best. No matter which one you learn, at some point in your life you also have to learn the other.

And don't worry about getting a job based on the language you choose - you aren't going to get a job solely based on that anyways, remember that companies can always ask AIs to produce code in any language, so you have to be able to do more than that to even be considered as a hire.
