All of my professors have been telling me C and C++ are going out - Our courses all focus on C#, Java, J++, and Visual Basic.NET. The only professors still teaching C/C++ is the Linux/Unix guy, but his classes are optional (Though I will prolly take them anyways.)
I think you will enjoy Linux if that is taught also. I really enjoyed my classes in it.

C++ is a horrible language, especially if you're coming off another horrible (for different reasons) language like Visual Basic. Learn Java or C#.
I thought it was horrible after learning C. I went into it thinking it would be easy, but it was a big change of pace for me.... I mean its pretty much the same but I didnt like classes and how the same fuctions like scanf and printf where changed and ect down the line. I guess thats stupid to complain about but I figured they would be more alike in syntax then they are. It is nice to debug a few lines of code in a class then it is say 10,000 lines in C.
