I've been looking into clojurescript, haskell and elm. Not sure which to start learning though 
probably clojurescript mainly because it compiles to javascript. I've been struggling to make time to learn though

More than anything, I'm trying to make time to learn some Java, but Javascript is taking up the majority of my time.. Java is quite the verbose language.
I've pretty much got javascript syntax down. What I really have to do from a language perspective is really get a deeper understanding of closures and their uses and concepts such as memoization. Javascript is a relatively small language, but some of the concepts such as closures and the prototypical inheritance system get very deep.

Finally doing ok for myself. New job starts on the 2nd of next month. Great company, lots of room to grow, and potential to make 100k before 30.
After everything that's gone wrong past 6 months, I can finally take a breath.
Feels good bros.

Started at helpdesk, moved to system admin, now in a system admin role with a bigger company and more potential to get into project management.
Plus more money.

At this point, you're better off trying to get you some type of entry level job (or internship) using the language. That's the only way you'll ultimately get better by working on real world problems in a actual work environment. Also, that's the only way you will truly grasp (and appreciate) some of those complicated concepts.

None worthwhile..A+, I just worked my ass off. Once I get into Project Management definitely going for my PMP.

Ok cool. How much experience do you have at each level? I'm just curious since I feel we are both almost going in the same path as each other as far as career

5 years at helpdesk.
2 1/2 years at System Admin
Admin/Helpdesk overlap because my prior job I held both roles.
New job i'll be a lower level system admin than I was previously, but, the pay, growth potential and benefits far outweigh anything I have before.
Also, just to prove a much debated point that degree doesn't matter. I have a BA in Communications.
I'm about to start college and I want to get into the IT game, but idk what to major in. Should i major in Computer Science or Information Technology? Would one offer more potential money over the other or does it even matter?
