Ive taken an AP course for the past year, learned what I guess are the basics of Java. Maybe a little more, I dont know how one defines but whatever. For me, I have been wondering was this language even worth my time? It seems the only things being built is mobile apps, and not much else. I also feel some aspects of the language are rather peculiar, and some I just dont think really make much sense (GUI anyone?)...

I'm just wondering other peoples opinions. Feel free to tear me apart, I'm sure it will happen anyways.
