While these may be the more common object orientated languages, I'd recommend doing more Git/Bash, and learning Rust/Python as all the companies are moving towards this o.o

Why the fuck is my college only teaching me C++ then lol

C++ is still an industry standard. The course material is usually dependent on what the teacher knows.

I think learning OOP in C++ or Java is a good first step. Python is a scripting language and OOP practices are not commonly followed in favor of a procedural approach.

I would go with what the new startups and biggest companies are using. I studied C++ etc., Python, Javascript, HTML, Ruby on Rails, PHP, blah blah blah. I'm too impatient to write code, but my advice would be to learn Python because it's super intuitive and can do everything C++ does, and it's more widely used today. Once you learn Python and learn about algorithms and the logic needed to write code well, you should be able to learn how to use CSS/scripts/etc. and just find whatever language works for you.

I'm no expert on coding and I can't ever get a job in programming because of my record but as long as you don't make the same mistakes as I did and work toward your goal I guarantee you'll succeed. I sincerely hoped this helped; I probably have no idea what I'm talking about but I just don't want the youth to go down the same road I did
