Java may not be a fashionable language for new greenfield projects and hot startups now days, but a huge chunk of the world's existing infrastructure runs on it. All that software needs ongoing maintenance, extensions, improvements. So, as a career choice, Java is going to be safe for decades to come. Heck, it's 2023 and there's still plenty of lucrative jobs for COBOL developers. Java will still be a good skill to have in, say, 2050.
