I am trying to learn some programming to help me land a job and make me more marketable to companies. So, I was wondering which of the two programming languages would i be better off learning?

.NET or Java (J2EE)

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering and a MCP, MCSA, MCDBA and MCSE (all Server 2003 platform) certificates and I still can't find a job.

I'm learning .NET right now...never did anything with the other so can't say much for it. .NET seems pretty simple...by simple I don't mean piece of cake lol....just not as hard as I thought.

ASP.NET is probably closer to the MCSE stuff.
Do you know databases? All that lovely MSSQL stuff?

If you want to learn a new technology right now, I would definitely look into Ruby on Rails. It's the big up and coming tech. Very easy to program in from what I hear and it's compatible with a lot of other formats.

If comparing .NET to JAVA, the answer is simple, .NET That is where most companies are going right now at least.
