I find it strange that you are considering C++/C#
vs. Ada.  Ada is completely irrelevant wrt the
job market, while C++ is still the major player.
If the reason is, that you feel more comfortable
with Ada syntax as compared to C++ and you
would rather work with Ada, I would suggest that
you
consider Oracle-rpogramming in PL/SQL,
which is quite similar in syntax to Ada.
And there is a much larger demand for PL/SQL
programmers as there is for Ada programmers.
