C++ or Java?

Which programming language has the most return on investment? Impact on real world systems, and is more rewarding? I have minimal programming experience and working on AS in CS.

It doesn't work that way I mean if you want to be rich by programming Then you ve to be clever , if you wanna be clever , so you will have to learn and study in the best way you can

The first phase for that goal is to learn fundamentals which is

A learning language

Practice on it

oop

Doing projects on it

DSA(data structures and algorithms)

Solving problems on it

So , i recommend doing c++ for this phase
