Best Languages to Learn?

I've read that one should pick languages for he wants to do. Are there just like, a few languages, that when learned, would cover pretty much every job?

I'm a programming nub. I've just turned seventeen and I'm only halfway through a high-school Java course. >.>

Languages I enjoy working with:
JAVA, PHP, Python, PERL

Languages I can tolerate:
VB.Net, C, C++

Languages I avoid like the plague:
basic, fortran, smalltalk
