Geek Advice required - C# or Java

[fido]

I need to learn one of the above languages, but they both look pants (and this is from someone who knows Assembler, Fortran, Matlab, C etc.) Which one is better, more popular, going to impress techies etc? Or to put it another way, which one would you learn if someone is paying you to to go on a course ..

I'd take the course that is in the nicer location.

Hmmm, the C# one is near a strip bar in Kings Cross. Will go for that one. Cheers.
