Is that everyone or just you?

Java is fairly good at teaching Object-Oriented Programming which is really a must when using structured design.
True, but it makes them lazy. They never have to worry about turning an integer into a string, etc...
If they now have to learn C++/C for the business world, they will hate not having a built in function to do it for them, and maybe transpose that hate to C++...

I have a strong C background. Before I used c++, I didn't mind malloc, calloc, free, memcpy, etc... Now that I've been programming in C++ for quite some time now, spoiled by the new and delete commands, it's hard for me to actually program in C. I still can but it's like "why do all the trouble and memory managing when you can do the same thing in c++ with no worrying."

I can't imagine how hard it would be for someone to switch from java to c++, c, or asm.
