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?
