I know it's not what you're looking for, but learning JS and a hot framework like React or Meteor will help you land a job in the IT sector in sooner or later IMHO.
Good luck with everything.

Whatever you're learning, someone will come along and tell you that something else is better. Ignore them. The first programming language you learn is teaching you to program, which is far more important than which language it is. You're learning transferable skills that you'll take with you when you learn something else.
1. JavaScript is not a great language by any standard. 2. JavaScript is the most requested programming language today (just take a look at job postings!)
Going JS is like going for sure, RoR is heavily requested too, but not as much as JS. JS is like the lingua franca of the web and since most people don't even know that there are other protocols except from HTTP, if I was desperately looking for a job as a programmer I would try to learn JS as best as I can.
