Try to get a job where you can do scala/another FP language, gosh, even Ruby/Python/Javascript has good functional constructs and have ways of writing functional code. As they are languages you might know, learn how to explore FP on those langs to the maximum. I wouldn't overvalue LISP or Haskell, just because it is something that you aren't so used to, or that it gets frequently cited here in HN. I particularly like the SICP book , but think it is a bit silly how some people overvalue this.
