Learning to code some language to solve basic problems is usually a good idea. Even if it's powershell, bash, or something like perl or python.
You're good to go.
Fortran was my very first language too! Freshman year of college. Then I used it in my early working years, writing code in a Fortran based tester language for the Fairchild Sentry V/VII/VIII VLSI Test systems (64 pin testhead) so it wasn't a waste. I think most everything else we had for "modern" test equipment at that time was written in C, C++ or Pascal.
