It may be easier to find Java jobs, but learning C++ will increase your understanding of computers a lot more than Java. Mainly in the area of memory management - C++ pointers really force you to understand whats going on below the surface. If you're not locked in to learning on those, I would suggest learning Lisp instead - it'll make you a better python programmer.
