Because you know Java I would learn the Android platform. There is a large demand for mobile developers all over the world right now, and even being in a foreign country you could contract your services to people in the US for some pretty decent money.

Another reason to go with Android is that you'll be learning a platform that has a pretty interesting future. It seems like some peripherals that might really take off (like the Oculus Rift, Google Glasses, or some TV software) will be using the Android platform, giving you an increased opportunity to get on board something big on the ground floor.

Android has the added benefit of being very well documented, fairly easy to learn, and great free resources that Google gives out, because they want the platform to succeed.

If you truly are decent at development I'd give the plan about 6 months of serious work to start paying off.

I would love to move to the mobile world, either Android, which I use, or iOS. But I'm afraid that I didn't like Java much when I took classes, so I never used it for actual work. I didn't like C for other reasons, so I don't know about Objective-C. Maybe the Java classes I took where no good? Any lessons recommendation? Anything on coursera or similar? Thanks!

There is an Intro to Programming in Java on Udacity[1] and an Algorithms in Java class on Coursera[1]

Absolutely. Java is probably the most well known language in the world. Some time well spent on Google should yield some gold.

I can not reply to your reply. I would take a look. Udemy is having 75% off on courses for example.
