I guess this depends where you live? Or have a security clearance? The
majority of the defense forces still use Ada extensively, so it can be
quite easy to get a job with a government defense department if you
know Ada.

A working knowledge of both Ada and C++ (and maybe Java to some
extent) is a great start.

Having a knowledge of just one language though isn't all that good
(and yes, even C++ - because there are just too many young people out
there learning C++, so it's a "dime a dozen" field).

Even if I had to learn just one language, I'd choose Ada over C
anyday, because it's a great language to learn the correct techniques
of good programming.
