Based on the year 2019, I think learning Python (AI/ML, Scripting, etc), Java (legacy code, enterprise systems, etc) and JavaScript (ES6, Node and a bundler because JavaScript has turned into something that is more than just some simple script on a page at this point.) are worth it. I say learn PHP if you are aiming for entry level rudimentary stuff. PHP is still out there and there are loads of clients asking for people to work on it. Anything else will revolve around how experienced of an engineer they want and the market you live in. Aside from languages/frameworks, I would say focus on the container/orchestration area of development. This is becoming the real focus I am seeing from someone who has been working in software development for over 5 years. More and more it is containerized micro services that are being produced and it is people who can weave them together with kubernetes or similar software that is the real ticket.
