which programming languages should 1 acquire to become self employed ?

PHP still rocks the web world, and it’s unlikely to change anytime soon. If you’re after $$ in that world as a self-employed freelancer, be prepared to go thourgh Wordpress hell more often than not. And while I dislike JS and hate Python, in that context they’ll both come in handy. But honestly, from what I gather, you’ve a long way to go before you could consider a career as a freelance web dev. So do learn your html, css, sql, patterns, networking, security etc etc and then maybe consider again. Just as a friendly advice. Don’t go rushing in, you’ll just give yourself and our profession bad rep if you do.

@100110111 thanks for the advice yeah i wont rush no worries

For starters choose what domain you want to work on, then choose what tools and frameworks are available to tackle domain problem then choose your language. People will fight that this language is best etc etc but I think programming as a tool. Each language have its pros and cons, some have good libs and framworks availabe and some don't so it totally depends on problem statements. Once you learn any one language proficiently its easier to switch to other languages.

You can learn and be proficient in as many languages as you could

But that and self employment aren't directly related. If you have enough experience, credentials working for an employer, you could bring in a change in your career, assuming you are able to manage the non-Engineering aspects (like sales, finance). If you are a fresher or just starting out, I wouldn't suggest you to be self employed

@asgs thx mate

Js. You can build backends, frontends and mobile apps with it. Go for Node and React/React Native. Js is supported on all major cloud providers as well.

Find out what you like to do, then find out what languages and tools are used in the area you are wanting to work (as in geographic area).
If there are multiple languages then maybe choose your favourite or the one that pays the most

If you need to ask that, I think you are probably not experienced enough as a dev, know what languages you like working with, or not done any research on what self employed means or checked who your potential clients are and what they need... Or hot much they are willing to pay.
