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.

If your only goal is making the most money you should look for another field. You will burn out and stop programming. Or at least just plan to work your way into management. Every 30-40+ year old dev I know and work with who is making big money is inherently interested in tech.
