Most people on here will push you towards the over-saturated market of JavaScript (insert framework of the week here). Personally, I would get to grips with something with a less hispter vibe that is oversaturated with devs taking low pay.

Learn Java, learn the Spring framework, learn Tomcat. These enterprise standard java based technologies will set you up for a solid and well paid career.

Is Java not over-saturated? I thought that was one of the selling points to the suit.

There are maybe 3 'frameworks of the week' actually being used today, Backbone, Angular, and Ember.

I'm not surprised at the junk replies to this.

Java has many many more jobs than there are good developers. The three buzz word frameworks will stick you in smaller projects that will ultimately pay less. Don't get sucked into the hype.

If you want to see big projects where you will be able to accelerate your career, I would definitely be looking towards the enterprise and consultancy space.
