Depends what you want to do.

Java was my first language I learned in university back in 2000. At the timer I thought it was amazing. Then I learned Perl and realised how boring Java was and how much more expressive a language could be.

Now I use Python mainly, but looking around a jobs, the well paid senior engineers are usually Java based jobs. Python is mainly academic, or web development, and poorly paid as a result.
