Actually, I find Python and Ruby much more interesting than Java (actually, Java seems as a boring language :) ) . But since Java is general purpose language and it's known as market skill, I want go for it.

Python and Ruby are both general purpose languages, and both also run on the JVM.

Knowledge of Java can be useful though, as terrible as the language is.

Python and ruby are just scripting languages - Java is a structured type safe language which is battle hard. No comparison!

Don't be silly. All three languages are of similar maturity (in fact Python is even older than Java) and all three have been "battle tested".

The only thing you might argue is that the JVM is a better runtime than CPython or CRuby, and for that there's JRuby and Jython.
