but i want a job
Forget about it, you will never get one. Enjoy yourself, avoid enterprise cruft and paradigms, put the fun back into computing etc.
Picture yourself as a young retired man. You've got all the necessary time to learn anything. You will still be able to use your wonderful programs in 20 years if you avoid Python, Ruby, Java and all these born-dead crap.
You'll be programming for yourself, nobody is willing to pay you, so you have no reason to make it a torture.
