#25Java is probably still the best bet. Ruby on Rails might be OK.

#26I think the first thing to do is to stop worrying overly much. You have enough funds for 2 years? You are not broke. You have plenty of time to learn and/or find another job, take your time. Find folks in whatever area you are interested in and find out which fields are in demand.

#27I would suggest you get into Android or iPhone development instead. Make some app. If it is good enough the income is recurring. Plus mobile is most likely to be huge in the years to come.

#301. Learn the Java syntax; go through some hello world tutorials and then some OSS code to guide your way. 2. Read http://java.sun.com/docs/books/effective/ 3. Recite one of the lessons you learned from #2 and impress the interviewer so that you can land that first job. 4. Become a decent programmer (this step is optional but recommended for long-term security)

Sad but true, too many people seem to get through coasting and never working on their craft. What really gets me is the lack of passion for it, I got into programming for the love of coding, money is a happy side effect. Too many I have seen don't seem to care, or are too lazy to improve.
