In my company and in many other startups in Silicon Valley doing the bleeding
edge work in the newest cool stuff, you can't get a job without being a C++
programmer, period.

If C++ is not a choice for you learn C.  Pascal won't get you a job.

Of course I think you should learn at least seven or eight high level languages
just for fun, and five or six assemblers for the same reason.
