If you look at TIOBE Index, you will see that Delphi/Object Pascal (presently #12) is often ranked above such notables as Go (Golang), Swift, Ruby, Rust, and Lua. A list of languages many would argue a person could make a name for themselves with.
Not saying that TIOBE is the "be all, end all", but it's not like nobody knows Delphi/Pascal or that there aren't companies that have lots of code written in it. To include that Delphi/Pascal is still being taught in many school systems throughout the world (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHcqZEtWBy0&list=PLxAS51iVMjv8fhDh7xi2rCb7hHVvDRIop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHcqZEtWBy0&list=PLxAS51iVMj...).
We also have to be mindful to separate from the propaganda and hit jobs by corporate backed competing programming languages that would prefer people not know how competitive, powerful, and useful that Object Pascal is.
