    If you want to make money, go into finance or something. As an added bonus, you won't have to learn anything!

    You could do a job search and see what companies are hiring for.


    Java, python, mysql, sometimes C++ and C#


    More than likely these will be the languages that will be the most popular in the next decade.


    If you're getting into programming just to make money, I think you need to re-evaluate your interests. Most of us do it because we enjoy it, and given by your knowledge you haven't really done programming. I suggest dabbling in python for a few months, make something that interests you and then consider if you want to do this.

    Ruby on Rails is probably considered the coolest out of what's out there and I see a lot of places that are hiring using it. Personally, everybody I know who started using it loves it.

    Another option is Python/Django which is also very popular and is used by many employers.

    However I really hope that you love programming and software development not just for the money, because chances are what's popular in the next several years is not going to be the same as now - whether it's a different framework, or the current framework is completely different by then.

    Depends what you want to do. Finance pays alot, and financial institutions pay alot to programmers that work on trading systems. Languages involved there are C and C++, Java, OCaml, Haskell.
    (I should add, I'm currently doing a Finance degree after doing my first career for the last 10 years and getting into trading stocks, it's quite surprising how many finance guys are competent programmers. I also was able to talk to a pretty large trading house, and programming is considered a required skill)

    Web work could mean Ruby/Rails, Python/Django, PHP, Java, JS/Node.js, or even something like Clojure or Scala.

    If you want to be a code monkey at a large organization then Java or C# gets you there.

    If you just want to make money, then become an accountant (easy, decent money) or get into finance (hard, great money).

    Simply learning a language or framework won't guarantee a job. As the old saying goes, skills pay bills, languages and such are simply tools.

    To add to this, Ruby is a great language even without Rails.

    It's fantastic for scripting, and building just about anything (unless you need high performance/real time stuff). Anywhere Python is used, Ruby can also be used, and IMO Ruby is a little more flexible and pleasant to work with.

    The syntax is nice and intuitive, it's powerful, expressive, adding libraries is incredibly easy, and I just find that anything I want to do in Ruby is trivial compared to other languages, and any feature that other languages 'claim', is generally easy to do in Ruby.
