In the scheme of things it is also worth looking at the local job
market, area (embedded systems, web programming, DB and so on),
matching your skills to those usually required and then spending time
and money in learning if you want to program for a living. Learning
Fortran is interesting but when listed on a CV, wont really net you a
job.
....just my 2 paise.
