Right... the 'real' world... and how many years have you been working in the software industry now?

It just depends on where you end up in the 'real' world. Different languages are better for different tasks. There is a lot to be said for domain-specific languages (such as Matlab) and scripting languages (such as python). Just depends on what you're trying to accomplish and what you're used to.
