Most profitable programming language?

This is kind of a bad question because jobs that involve programming are incredibly diverse.

You have to ask yourself what your priorities are. Money? Job satisfaction? Enjoying your work?

(The distinction between "job satisfaction" and "enjoying your work" is that you can be employed to pick up shit for a living and enjoy your job (benefits and pay and stuff), but not necessarily enjoy the actual act of picking up shit.)
 
In aus the web application languages that have the best job prospects are Javascript, PHP, JAVA, SQL followed by C#

to get a decent job using php you also need to learn a framework like laravel and a CMS like drupal

Also important to learn how to use a version control system like GIT

I don't do web, but I'm always amazed that employers are asking for experience in versioning systems.
You only need one expert that can create branches, merge them or I don't know much about advanced features so use your imagination.

Learning about commits, updates and merges can be done in an hour. Folks, if there is one thing that can be learned on the spot, its that.

Yes it is pretty simple to at least clone, commit and pull using GIT but I guess they also want you to know how it works.

I have worked with someone in the past that did not know how to use it and refused to learn. He tried to get it to work and in the end gave up saying it was 'buggy' so what he would do make his changes and share them on dropbox so I would have to go through his code with a DIFF tool and try and figure out what was a change forward and what was a change back. Sadly he could not be fired and I had work with him on the whole project
