You may learn other things, but stick to what you know and specialize.
- You know C#, probably you could learn game development with Unity as it also uses C#. Game development has been in the churn due to VR. That's something that might be good in the next 5 years.
- You could push your JS knowledge a bit further then learn TypeScript, a superset of JS that eerily looks like C#. In addition, WebAssembly (imagine binary executable payloads over the web) is in the works - which means you can use any language (as long as it compiles to web assembly) to make stuff.
- If you go the electronics route, JS is also in the hardware and IoT (internet of things) business. There's the Tessel, a JS-powered hardware platform similar to Arduino.
I suggest not diving into hype-driven stuff. Go for the stuff that sounds very impossible at the moment, learn, and master it. That's what happened with JS during my time, calling it a "toy language". Look where it is now.
