First year CS student

hi /prog/
I am a first year student and I want to make myself as marketable as possible once I graduate. We started our first class learning to program in Java but I feel like the stuff we learned would be pretty useless elsewhere. so, what language should I try learning on my own now?

who gives a fuck if enterprise fuckers like

the same can be said of engineers in all fields, there are the engineers that sit in offices and design shovel handles all day, and there are the engineers who actually want to invent things.

eventually it comes down to

and the fact that some artists will make art simply for the money, some artists will make art that you can buy at walmart on some shirt or some decorative plate.. and some artists will make art simply because they enjoy it, this is how it has always been and how it will always be nomatter what.
