Java, views and advice.

So I somehow managed to lead myself into learning Java. I have to ride it out for the moment becuase I have a major Comp Sci project to do, and I don't know any other languages (well, apart from the usual VB, Delphi, Turbo Pascal - not very useful for a final year project).

Question is, should I stick with Java after I finish university and try and get a job with that? Or should I abandon it and move on to a different language?

So far, I like Java, it is stupidly verbouse, but that kind of reminds me of Turbo Pascal, so it's no biggy. Java seems really strict when it comes to OO, which is giving me a real headache seeing as this is the first OO language I've used.

I think the main reason I like it is that it's cross platform. But I'm willing to learn something else if it's going to be better for me in the long-run (job wise). Any suggestions?

C# is the way to go in the business world
Sounds like a literal quote from a Microsoft press conference.

C# is still less popular in the business world (aka what stupid managers read in magazines they should use); unfortunately Java reigns there.

As expected, luck be damned, Java is the most popular language and the most disgusting one; C# is much better but less popular, and other languages may be better than C# but they're not popular at all.
