> Then someone tells you, hey, learn some Java too, it's easy to get a boring corporate job if you know Java. Anyway, that's what schools are teaching right now in their core intro CS curriculum, more or less. Your description accurate but a little off because most students at least in America learn Java first as part of their AP Computer Science course, and a lot of colleges use Java as an intro language for this very reason.
