Will learning java help me finding a job?

I'm a 16 years old teenager, I live in Egypt, I started learning java on sololearn recently, and I would like to learn programming to work for a foreign company from home, it is called freelancing as far as I know, what I want to know is, do I have a chance of finding a job since I'm just 16 with no experience and will work from my phone? as windows is expensive here and I don't want to use cracked windows, and is java a good language to learn as a start?

Learning any language on SoloLearn is a skill that can help you find a job. Java is one of the most popular languages. Once you learn you first language it is easier to learn the other.

I live Damietta, and as for the mobile phonr, well I'm planning to work on the mobile phone till I earn some money to have a good pc or laptop, would it be possible to program on the mobile phone? just for some time, I already have pc but as I said wimdows is ecpensive here and many many people use cracked windows, I myself was using cracked software alot and used to try to hack any game I face, maybe I have never thought of it to be a theft, but when I realized how bad that was, I stopped using cracks and hacks, that's why I want to work for a foreign company, so that the earning will be enough to get a good (legal) pc or laptop.
