My advice is to follow your interests, especially since they mean getting into solving deeper and more interesting problems.

There are lots of people out there with standard programming backgrounds, not a lot coming from the deeper and more esoteric ones.

I figure if you want interesting work, you gotta have an interesting education.

Also don't too hung up on the OO vs FP shiz. They're both just tools for solving a problem. Learn them both and take what you need.

Also I like your fugue...but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoA0cTC228M ...turn it up

Yeah, I get that FP, OO, Logical etc etc. paradigms just is different ways to model problems around and that you should choose the one best suited for the task.

What I meant was that If I were to work with OO 8hr/day for a longer period of time Im afraid that I would get so "wired up" in the OO way of thinking that I would have a hard time learning and understanding to think in a correct FP-manner.

Oh, This Is Happening is an excellent record! Since were in on electronic stuff I must recommend Bot'Ox - Blue Steel :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMEUpF7mNb0
