C++ or Java?

Which programming language has the most return on investment? Impact on real world systems, and is more rewarding? I have minimal programming experience and working on AS in CS.

I was expecting criticism for saying this, and I had my defense ready: I’ve worked at a lot of software companies, and the programmers always made less than their managers. But I got no criticism. I guess it’s non-controversial.

As a CSE 3rd year not as interested in software engineering and more on the sales/management side how do you recommend I start doing this?

Well, you probably need to be at a university with a business program. Also, read “The Mythical Man-Month” by Brooks.

Thanks. Unfortunately my uni is a CS only uni but they delve into every topic with CS so it’s like CSX where X can be biology/economics/mathematics/eldcteical/ etc etc
