Don't waste your time in college on learning languages.
Absolutely. When I studied CS in the 70's we did programming assignments in Assembler (IBM 360), Fortran, COBOL, BASIC and Algol (? or some algol like language). We had occasional access to Unix where I learned C.
The world has changed a lot since then. I have not used any of those languages for many years now. How much do you think the world will change in the next 30 year?
Instead, learn how to learn new languages and new things. Yes, and never stop learning.
