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.
