My advice is to follow your interests, especially since they mean getting into solving deeper and more interesting problems.

There are lots of people out there with standard programming backgrounds, not a lot coming from the deeper and more esoteric ones.

I figure if you want interesting work, you gotta have an interesting education.

Also don't too hung up on the OO vs FP shiz. They're both just tools for solving a problem. Learn them both and take what you need.
