Are you talking about Salesforce, as in the CRM (ie., the database sales professionals use to store their account and sales info)?

I’ve never heard it referred to as a programming language, much less a career path in itself, which is why I ask.

Or do you just mean you want to get some kind of IT job at Salesforce?

Salesforce has its own programming language, called Apex.  I'm not sure how much work is actually done in that, however.  I imagine that most of the Salesforce jobs out there are Admin positions.  One might be better off as a contractor in Salesforce development, since I doubt that it's an ongoing need in most organizations.

Learn Rust and Go. You'll have no issues finding work if you know those. Rust is the most sought after engineering language right now.

There's a lot of work in Salesforce done in healthcare because of telehealth and pharmacy automation.

Also, learning Salesforce development allows me to learn marketing as well. 
Programming for a whole life can become boring and dry, I need to learn something else. 
(Most programmers don't agree with me, they think programming is the most interesting thing in life and knowing it is enough)

Perhaps, and perhaps not.  Developers tend to receive requirements from Business Analysts who understand the business, and while some measure of business knowledge (in this case, marketing) filters down as if by osmosis, there's not necessarily any methodical initiation into the business methods and principles.
