Home office is really overrated if you ask me. I found it neat the first few months of novid, but eventually started to hate it with a passion. Unavailable colleguas. Slow responses. Misunderstandings. Lack of impromptu meetings; everything became much more formal. Everything became less human; my colleguas started to feel like "some random dude on the internet". Management cared less. If you don't share any of this, by all means, but for me it never worked out.
Learn C and C++. You need a project in which you can learn on. Something that's at least somewhat meaningful to you. Languages are only a small part of it; data structures and algortihms. Design patterns (yes, really).
Anyway, have fun!
