I think that Angular is the worst choice because developing an app in Angular is so radically different than developing an app in vanilla JS. For a beginning developer I think it's best to first do vanilla JS, then JQuery, then try a lightweight framework like Backbone or React or Mithril. Angular is just a bad decision, it's like patterns just for the sake of patterns.

Focusing on learning frameworks seems like a good idea for resume-building purposes, but they come and go like fashion. Learn Javascript the language very well first, and then learning the framework du jour will be trivial.
