How many have learned a language they hated just to get a job? 
etherael: ColdFusion was the big one, I hate the language with a white hot passion now, no job is ever worth the abomination of learning that steaming pile of garbage.To a lesser extent, C# I ended up learning only because a side project was in desperate need of more coders. I didn't like it much but nowhere near as bad as CF.And lesser still, Java proper the language rather than the environment. I don't much like it but I totally forgive it because of the JVM and all the excellent other languages that run on top of it.
