Kind-of off topic, but if you have a programming job, what language(s) do you work with?
I'm a student right now. And all the internships I've looked at all requires C++. But I would definitely like to learn Java, gives me more to write on my resume. All of the internships I've come across, Java is named under "Desired Skills" rather than "Required Skills". Not only for internships but for jobs as well. I've seen so many jobs like this... that's why I'm so stubborn about C++ being the dominating language. If you look at big companies like apple or microsoft, they list C++ as a MUST, but Java as a PLUS. I just went into these companies just now to confirm this... you can check yourself.

Edit: What languages do you work with? Seems like your in the industry already...
