As my CS II prof said at the end of the semester, "You now know the complete syntax and and workings of C++... One day in the future you'll graduate, and you'll need to get a job. If, at an interview, they ask you whether you know Java, say yes, then go read a Java book over lunch." And, this is about what I did. I had a little java experience when I interviewed for my current student job. Now I know java really well. And why? Because I understand OOP pretty well. It's just about learning the concepts, not a specific language. If you feel like you know C++ but don't think you can learn Java, then I don't know how you got a BS in CS. Java is a LOT like C++, just easier to use! Go pick up a java book and start making a few extra grand per year...

"Under some circumstances water might even be found inside Uranus" ... like an enema? Sorry, I had to get that one out.
