Is JavaScript the first programming language I should learn if I want to be a web developer? (I know HTML & CSS).

I didn't say that HTML & CSS were. JavaScript definitely is.
Robert Wood
Yes, but make sure to learn a lot of js libraries.
Landon Mitchell
but you can't write programs... only webapps, it's scripting at best

You're better than this

You should learn a proper backend language that isn't garbage first or you will be brain damaged forever.

What's wrong with being a web developer? You have to start somewhere.
I'm currently pursuing a career as an actuary, but the market is very competitive in Canada, so I'm considering switching careers.

You really do sound like a web developer. Maybe you're making the right choice.

JavaScript is not even a language.

Web development will very heavily taint your perception of how actual reasonable software development languages work, such as a variety of object-oriented principles.
If you want to learn web development, go ahead, but if what you want is an entry to software development then pick up C# and play around writing console applications, move up from there.
Joseph Bailey
Even if I expose myself to other languages at the same time?
The reason I want to go into web development is that I believe it will require less time to learn the skills to get a job. My priority is getting a tech-related job first to pay the bills, and then move up from there.

Take a look at this website
javascripting.com
Each one of them has a group of devs that use only that library to program a website. Each one of those groups expects you to learn a new "language" in order to use these libraries, all of them dissimilar. and this list just grows longer every day.
What is so bad? PROTIP: A lot.
