Remember, it’s not about learning a language that will get you a job. It’s about broadening your horizons as a developer and being able to recognize the right tool for the job.

It's almodt always about getting a job. Why not concentrate on a language that makes you immediately employable?

I think the point is to do both. By broadening your horizons you will most definitely pick up other languages and techniques along the way.
I understand. But if you are just starting out, why not use the most in demand languages first prioritizing by what's easiest to pick up?

I would think for instance for the middle tier - Python, Java, C#, Node JS

Python seems to be the easiest - I just learned it two weeks ago. Then Java or C# and finally Node.

I would think Node would be the hardest to learn because of how it is structured.
