Thank you.
What's the most useful thing/language/skill/topic to learn? Something that can be turned into a real profession down the line.
It really comes down on what you want to do.
Python for general purpose
Rust, C and C++ for systems engineering (my recommendation)
Typescript or JavaScript Frameworks if you want to be a front end guy
Pro tip: once you know a lang, learning new ones becomes relatively easy.
Thank you! I'd love to get an internship, but I'm not sure where to start as a future expat. Any ideas? I plan to immigrate to Europe by getting a degree, which is the only way to citizenship. That's why I'm asking what field would be best to get a degree in, even though people have said a formal education isn't important in IT.
