If you have a specific project in mind and think Julia would be a good fit, go for it. That said I think it would be more valuable to you to build up a reputation as someone who can analyze data in any language, than to brand yourself as a Julia hand specifically. Sure 80% of the world might be converted to Julia someday but it will mean nothing if your current project involves translating a code base in Stata or SAS, or working with a bunch of web devs who want to use Python for everything, or collaborating with a research professor who just has to have his Matlab since that's what he used for his thesis... Invest in becoming a data whisperer first and in becoming a coder of specific languages second. Happy stats-ing!
