Should I continue trying to learn the language?

So I want to learn a second language to look good on a resume, to make new friends, and to keep me sharp mentally, and... Language just interest me. I'm very interested in Chinese, I've been studying for about six months, even completed/grasped all lessons in the HelloChinese app (was SO helpful). So I feel like I can express myself in basic terms, have a little trouble with comprehension (speakers must speak slow and clearly), now the big problem... READING AND WRITING, outside of numbers, dates, police, water and I , I'm totally illiterate and I sometimes wonder if I'll ever be able to memorize even 100 characters. So I ask, is it even worth learning if I'll likely never be able to read it. I've been debating switching to Italian, and figured a reddit group dedicated to the language would be ripe for advice. Thanks for reading! 祝你今天愉快 (pasted from Google)
