I am getting into Computer Security and the likes, and I was wondering if I know how to program will it help me land a better job? Like I had a hard time learning about php so I gave it up although I will force myself to learn this language because I was so addicted to other languages. I tried C++ going to buy a compiler to help me get better at it.

Sorry if this seems like an over asked question just wanting some replys from people in the field.

Thanks in advance.
