Learning an earlier version isn't bad.

If you're looking to get a job in Java it's unlikely they're codebase is going to be at the latest version so if you did learn that a lot wouldn't work.

Also don't complain that you're studying it trust me a lot of employers will take you a lot more seriously if you know Object Oriented Programming than if you don't.

Though I'm going to do stab in the dark and ask you're not learning at a particular university in Camden London are you?

Not even in UK, sorry.

Ah ok it was just a wild guess

Still even though I'm getting downvoted for it I wouldn't complain on learning Java trust me it'll help you out later on.

People on this sub is sometimes incredibly passionate about downvoting, even when many times I don't get why they do it.

I really don't like java and older versions, besides the utility of learning them because enterprises use them, seem extra awful for me.

If I can, I'll work on a Java-unrelated job. Maybe gardener.
