Since you're posting to a PHP forum, I'm going to assume you've an
interest in scripting languages. So I would say you should study Ruby.
It's an elegant scripting language, and more fully OOP than PHP. If
you're focused on web related work, then study Ruby on Rails, which
is a framework for developing web site. It's a very intelligent,
elegant framework, with a graceful language that allows a high level
of abstraction.
