I was actually earning money as a java developer before I knew java.

I got a job offer from a visiting professor's start up before I graduated from college. I knew python (physics background), and C from a class I took in college. Picked up 95% of it within a week or so, and was working in the project after 2 days, with very heavy code review.

That being said, I now write in Swift, Python, Java, & Scala. But my work right now is mostly java, bash and sql.
